With the run up to Xmas its been an extremely busy time, like most people I have been trying to get work finished in time so I can have some time off, coupled with the fact that I have been making daily trips to a new site for Barn Owl I have had no time recently to go out with the camera, mind you the weather has been dire so I don't suppose I have missed many opportunities.

Every day for the last 19 days now I have been baiting and observing the site and now have finally got the bird confident in taking the free offering every night now and has done so for the past 12 consecutive days. Last night I sat in my hide at 4.40pm and at 5.11pm the owl flew over the top of me and a minute later was on the perch. Hopefully very soon I should be in a position to attempt a few photos.

This is some of the footage captured early yesterday morning.
