This summer I had another visitor on a number of occasions. Tends to come out a bit too late in the evening but I'll try and get some better pictures. North Shropshire Barn Owl. #birds #Shropshire #UKBirding #ukwildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #nature #wildlife #birdphotography

They seem to extend their territory in late autumn and winter and I don't see them every day. I also think they become much more nocturnal than in the spring and summer. But I still hear them every day.

I've been taking photos of them for 12 years, but I suspect they have been here much longer. It's an incredible privilege. I think it's become a bit of an obsession.

I'm sure he's hunting for food for the chicks. Sitting in the apple tree in the garden this morning. Little Owls, North Shropshire.
