For some reason
Barn Owls have unwittingly become my flavour of the month this February. I've seen them in seven different locations around the UK and got decent photos from three of them. These were taken today at
Blacktoft Sands RSPB near Goole. I actually went for Marsh Harriers, but this delightful female Barn Owl provided me with my best shots when it hunted right in front of
Singleton Hide this afternoon.
She hunted up down the ditch in front of the hide for five minutes or so, giving us great views in the late afternoon sunshine.
Eventually she caught some prey along with a talon full of grass and took it a nearby tree to eat it.
UPDATE:
The top photo was given a
'Notable Photo' award on
BirdGuides this week.
