The tawny owl, also called the brown owl, is commonly found in woodlands across Europe to western Siberia, and has seven recognized subspecies. It is a stocky, medium-sized owl, whose underparts are pale with dark streaks, and whose upper body may be either brown or grey.Hooting woodland hunter with silent wings. Without a sound, the tawny owl descends from its lofty perch to snatch unsuspecting rodents from the forest floor below.
The derelict Fuller's Earthworks factory, in Redhill, Surrey. Now torn down for housing I believe, this site was famous for being on every urbexer in the South-East's "have visited" list.

After feeding on the ground amongst thick grasses it perched up on a gorse bush for a few moments.

Unbelievable red sunset this evening here in Surrey. The colours were out of this world and lasted around 20 minutes starting out orange/pink before going to a deep red just before the sun disappeared. This was around mid-way through. What's the old adage: Red sky at night, shepherd's delight...
