Barn Owl

Thanks to a delightful and thoughtful birthday present from Fiona, visited "Walking with Owls" today at S&D Falconry near Henley in Arden Warwickshire, where one can see, hold, and feed several species of owls. A truly magical experience on a beautiful, sunny day and a very difficult choice for today's picture. However this female Barn Owl was quite exquisite and is my pick of the day. Isn't she stunning?
