Tyto Alba by filsie65

Tyto Alba

Just found out today that Tyto Alba is the name for a barn owl... rather pleased that something so special has a 'posh' name too! So glad to get a slot to fit this into - today was wet drizzle, fog, cold.. the sort that seeps into you before you realise you should have put on an extra jumper. Can't face posting a photo of fog, my shots just look blurred, not like the wonderful atmospheric ones I've seen here. I'll try again tomorrow.
Huge thanks to everyone who called by for a look at the www yesterday, you're smashing! :)
Oh, he is darling! Wonderful capture!
