Got ya

I was next door talking to Mary's mother, when she said she'd seen the owl in his tree earlier on. I thought i'd have a peek around the barn to see if he was still there, and there he was perched having a little nap. I sneaked into the barn and carefully got to the door without making a noise, I took a few frames of him asleep. I then moved forward out of the door and took a few more. I moved closer and took a few more, then he woke up and stared straight at me, I managed to get three quick frames and he disappeared back inside his hole.
I can't emphasise just how hard it is not only to see the owl outside the tree hole but to be able to get a picture, and all this happened with a Swale and her lamb bleating at me and alerting the owl to my presence, so I was quite happy that I got a shot.
