So tonight just before last light I went for a wander locally to look for a reported Short Eared Owl, sadly that was a no show, but I will be back ! On the upside I managed to spot a Barn Owl out hunting in the ever changing Autumn light.
I managed to watch him for a good hour before he went elsewhere, I didn’t see him catch a single meal, although he did go down a few times each time he came up empty. I wasn’t surprised then when he took off over the woods to find a new location, but it was great to watch him trying .
