The barn owl was hunting the side of the pool and then the dunes, grabbed a few pics through the misty haze that hasn't really lifted all day.


The top three images were digi-scoped, the bottom one was taken with the Lumix. The second shot was of it leaving the post after a vole or other tasty morsel, it returned to sit on the dropper in the third image.

Nice.
Been a good year for Barn Owls for many inc another last week on the way to the Airport.
Yu cannit get vexed.
I was around there a bit later after seeing the Spoonbill at Hauxley, missed both,bugger.
Get in, I'll catch up in September...the 100 I mean...
Undoubtedly the Druridge bay area is the best place in the county to see all of our Owl species. Historically there has even been Tengmalms here too. You never know a big white one might drop in at the end of the year.
32 black tailed god wits there today
