Barn Owl at Lakenheath!!

 For my last instalment from Suffolk, I`ve chosen to share with you these images of a Barn Owl.2 pairs inhabit the site and early morning is the time to find them hunting the meadows and riverbank.
 This particular bird gave me stunning views in excellent light.
 At times she passed within 10 metres of me,partly because I was hidden in the rushes!
 A fantastic subject indeed,and one that never fails to disappoint!!!
She stopped to rest and scanned the vegitation around.I`ve sometimes seen them drop onto prey when perched on fenceposts like this one.Eventually she did catch a vole and returned to feed her chicks!I hope you enjoyed my account of Suffolk and already I can`t wait to return!!!!!
