I will kick it off with one of my regulars...Jock the Sprawk
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)

I have to agree regarding barn owls, as much as I like all owls, they do have that extra pull.

Thank you.
When you come literally face to face with Jock...yes No doubt it was me that got the bigger fright even though I knew he was out there. Saw him fly down to beside the potting shed so I thought why no go out and stand outside and see if he pops up eventually...got 3 steps out the back door and I saw him fly up towards the apple tree then he flew right towards me!!....only got one click of the camera!!!
