Barn Owl.

On a drive back from Walton-on-Naze I passed through Thorpe-le-Soken when a Barn Owl fly over the car into a small grassed area with a few posts that had been staked in the ground for trees I presume! I did the well practiced emergency 3 point turn and somehow managed to pull up along the side of it without it flying off. I Already had the passenger side window down to take some photos and video. It did move from one post to another, this being the closest one it landed on to me. Got some shots of it taking off from the post as well, which I’ll post soon. Right place, right time! What a great experience.
