Blessed be the Barn Owl

A Barn Owl graced the meadow infront of our house for most of the day today, taking shelter from the gusting north-westerly during the middle part of the day. For me, Barn Owl is one of those birds that I'm just compelled to stop and watch no matter how many times I see them.

A good long walk around Felbrigg park produced a single Green Sandpiper but very little else, unsurprisingly with the wind gathering pace all the time, the lake holding an additional Teal and a pair of Gadwall, from last weeks birds.
