Barn Owl.

Post by Sid-104 » Wed Mar 01, 2023 4:34 pm

While on one of my winter walks in early February, I was privileged to see this Barn Owl out hunting during the daylight hours. The freezing overnight temperatures had left it with few opportunities for prey so gave me a chance to snap this beautiful bird in lovely late afternoon light. Hope you like them.

Of “course” but the reeds helped :D.

This shows the old river where it runs into the new Nene at Denver https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gate ... rceID=1000

Used in childhood in my PBK20.

Regardless of all that, excellent snaps of a bootiful 🦅
