Aust Wharf, BristolOnce again shuffled my work around so I could go out on Friday rather than at the weekend when I knew most places would be busy. Rob and I headed to Aust Wharf as a Barn Owl has been showing quite well recently. Both Rob and I are lacking Barn Owl shots so we were both looking forward to the possibility of one landing on a post for us. We arrived at about 8.20am after being held up in work traffic for a while and set up our cameras, we chatted to a local man who said he had seen the Barn Owl earlier that morning. After about and hour we were beginning to think the bird had gone to roost and would probably not show again until perhaps later in the afternoon and were going to move on somewhere else when it flew over the hedge behind us and started to hunt over the grassland in front of us. This bird spent over three hours hunting in front of us and perching on various different perches but unfortunately for us never quite close enough, we did however get a few flight shots at distance but as the light was so good that helped us a bit. Still a great day seeing this fabulous bird hunting for so long!
