Barn Owl

[Treacle Trackpad 6]

I was sat in a highseat this morning and a barn owl came and sat on my moderator! We stared at each other for about 2-3 mins before I tried to get a pic with my phone but he was having none of it. So no phot but just thought I'd share cos it was one of those amazing wildlife moments .

 

Nothing but does from the seat so wandered off and stalked into another couple of does, one with a single kid, before finally finding a yearling buck. I managed to blow a shoulder which I was very disappointed about but these things happen to the best of us at times. He dropped on the spot and I still got some mince out of it . A funny little head which is currently bleaching and a nice summer coat which will be getting the diesel treatment tomorrow

 

A cracking bit of stalking after sitting in a seat last night facing west and watching the sun set, and east this morning watching it rise, owl, and a buck in the freezer.

Diesel and Bicarbinate of soda can be used to cure the skin.

And here he is on the garage wall waiting to go to work with me on Monday to decorate the office. I knock the shields up out of a bit of old pine and stain them. He's got quite a murder point on the right side...
