Garden Barney

A few years ago it was usual to see Barn Owls hunting the fields behind our house.  Some cold winters and the wind fall of an ancient Ash favoured as a breeding spot seemed to have reduced our sightings to occasional.  It was a lovely surprise to come home today to find that Angie had not only seen but also digi-binned a Barn Owl that had perched up on the fence line opposite the kitchen window.  I hope that they start using the area again for hunting, it was magical watching them going back and forth of a summer evening taking a short cut over the near field, glass of wine in hand (mine of course, talons are useless for holding glasses and Owls don't drink wine).
