The joy of going out early at this time of year is that you may just get lucky and see a Barn Owl. I'd normally be happy to see one from the car in the distance or maybe along the verge, but when in Norfolk I got more than I bargained for a couple of times. I was minding my own business on my walk, when I turned the corner to seen an owl quartering a field . I watched it for a short while before it started coming towards me. I managed to get some shots of it before it moved out of view. Some of my best views.
As normality resumed and my heart rate returned to a more acceptable level I paid more attention to the other birds around me, like this lovely Sedge Warbler.
Hello. Wonderful photos of Barn owl. It is so beautiful looking owl.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI would be thrilled to see the Barn Owl, beautiful captures. The Sedge Warbler is a cutie. Great post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend.
You did great there Adam. Barn Owls often fly a lot quicker than we imagine them to do. It can be very tricky getting that in focus picture.

ReplyDeleteamazing captures of an owl.
ReplyDeleteBarn Owl has long been a bit of a nemesis bird for me. I have seen a few, in different parts of the world, but always perched and often briefly. I have never been able to witness a hunting bird.
