I can't remember the last time I saw an owl and then this week, like the proverbial buses, I've seen 2!
The Tawny Owl seems to have a roost just up the road from my house, a tree right on a busy road.
Had to go a little bit further to see the Barn Owl on a very cold late afternoon. We eventually saw it a long way off but then it seemed to disappear, along with the light which was rapidly fading.
We were on the point of heading home when it re-emerged making a few speculative dives before finally succeeding in catching a small mouse or vole. I was pretty pleased with the photos considering the lack of light and only having a bridge camera.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Kind regards, Ann
You're welcome Mike.
I hope you don't mind, I do get a little cheeky from time to time, but when you mentioned Mabel, the earworms came alive, and this is what they recalled.....
"Hello Mabel, are you able to come out today?
