Barn Owl

Persistence pays off! :-D Our village's Barn Owls seem to be a bit late breeding this year (probably weather induced) and the recent breezy weather really seems to have limited their hunting in the evenings, when I've been out to watch them. Fortunately on Saturday evening, I got a combination of good light and a dropping breeze, which brought an Owl out virtually "on cue". I even managed to get it in focus (I'm claiming practice is paying off, but luck plays its part!). Added a pic below where it had caught a Vole and was heading nest-ward
