Barn Owl

Had the trap on again for a couple of hours last night, cooler and fairly clear, a catch of 3 Pale brindled Beauty and a Spring Usher was to be more expected than the numbers earlier in the week.
Had a flock of a dozen Siskin fly south over house at dawn, we sometimes get them on the feeders around this time of year so will have to keep a look out for them.
As I arrived home from work a white blob in the meadow hedgerow looked very much like a plastic shopping bag but Iwas glad to see it was the local Barn Owl sat out in the open staring intentley into the field below. Alas the sun was just hitting the horizon so I had to up the ISO on the camera to get some 'noisy' record shots.
