I can concur, the first one definitely isn't a barn owl!
Seriously, a brilliant set of photos Bob, and a pleasure to see what looked like sunshine, not something we're getting much of down here....

More fab stuff Bob.
Did one of the spoonies have something over it's wingtip, or was it just mud from feeding?
Love the iridescent Lapwing, and your Tern shots are nearly as good as mine
Collared Dove are one of Mrs PB's favourites, and anything flying does for me, so you've catered nicely to the masses lol
Thanks for sharing :o)

I believe dark wingtips indicate it is a juvenile(last year's young).
