Went to Lincolnshire this weekend for the first time in ages. Checked in with the Barn Owl on Saturday night, hoping he hadn't moved on (it's been months since I saw him last). But about half an hour before sunset he made an appearance. I managed to take quite a few shots of him - here is my favorite:
He did eventually spot me sitting in the brambles in my new camouflage jacket from wildlife watching supplies (looking pretty cool, I can tell you!). The camouflage seems to work well enough, he didn't notice me until he eventually heard the shutter going. This is as close as he's ever come!
That's a lovely shot Nick of a Barn Owl in a very natural setting.
