Better Barn Owl but no Brent

A local Barn Owl appeared at the last minute after a pretty non-eventful day. I'd searched for the Brent but found nothing but Pink-feet and Barnacles, I had brief views of a Willow Tit and two Great Spotted Woodpeckers, one at home, but couldn't get a shot of either and every Buzzard I encountered flew off just as I was about to press the shutter release. So, the appearance of the Owl put a smile back on my face, even though it proved hard to photograph. It flew at pace along the ditches and I struggled to keep up with it - and the light wasn't great. Still, I got this one for the record. (I just hope the bird stays in the area as the evenings get longer so I can get something a touch sharper.)
