around 4pm yesterday afternoon spent 10 mins watching a owl ( similar to the one above colour wise ) hunting a field. circles and a couple of swoops to the ground, nothing evident when it took off again after approx 10 seconds. eventually ended with it swooping and staying in the deep grass. i guess it caught something and remained on the ground to eat it. no young i guess as it didn't take the prey away to feed a brood
was very surprised when i initially saw it. magical to see it just going about it's day hunting. it hasn't been too rainy at night recently so i wonder why it was out so early hunting ?
