Barn Owls, Welney

The weather was glorious with little wind and a blue sky - perfect for a winter trip to Welney.   Miles and I were expecting our attention to be drawn to the swans but instead we spent a happy hour enjoying a Barn Owl fly up and down a drainage ditch between the bridge and hides.    The later images are of a second Barn Owl which passed through without quartering - it isn't ringed!   We saw no evidence of either bird having caught anything to eat.

The final photograph is of two Redshanks, perhaps a pair, caught in the evening light.
