It might not look like much, but for me, it's a once-in-a-lifetime photo.
Barn owls are nocturnal. While we sometimes see other owls - like eagle owls, little owls, or short-eared owls - active during the day or at dusk, barn owls only come out at night only.

Barn owls have some extraordinary adaptations to help them hunt at night, such as incredibly sensitive hearing and the ability to spot movement in very low light.

I spent an hour this morning watching a distinct distant ‘white creature’ in the trees. Just far enough away to not get a clear view with lens & / or binoculars.

At first I thought maybe one of the Buzzards I’ve seen the last few days, it’s breast / underside glistening in the morning sun.

It’s behaviour & perch, that of a bird of prey.

As it flew off I’m convinced it’s a Barn Owl (📷3)

Anyone have any other thoughts?

We braved the cold gloomy weather last weekend and headed up to RSPB Titchwell Marsh. After a day of several firsts for us we headed toward the car, it was getting even darker but we were treated to seeing a Barn Owl come out and hunt.

We could have moved closer but we were so captivated we stayed watching from quite a distance.
