Barn Owl
There aren't many birds more enchanting to watch than a Barn Owl, with that slow methodical flight.
It is the most widely distributed owl in the world, but its behaviour varies signficantly depending on the number of aerial predators, luckily in the UK there are not that many - so we are sometimes lucky enough to see Barn Owls daylight hunting morning and afternoon.
It was a very special moment when this one flew towards me in the morning sun.
I don't normally drop the shutter speed this low if I can help it, but do like the motion blur it creates on the wing tips.
Taken in Norfolk.
