Took myself out for a cheeky little lunchtime ride yesterday afternoon and was rewarded with a close encounter with a barn owl. Was mere metres away from it as it came across the road and headed up across the fields. Wasn’t tempted to stop to try to get a shitty phone camera shot as I was blowing my way up a steep fucker of a hill, but after I came over the top I met it again by the gate to a field. Managed to get possibly the worst ever photo of a barn owl in existence once I got my cold fingers working.
nice! there used to be a pair of barn owls on my usual short loop, nesting in a farm building (looks like a purpose-built hole in the eaves for them). I've not been riding much for a bit, but getting back on it and hoping to have my usual escort up the last climb
