Barn Owl edited to add photo
Barn Owl along edge of Grape Lane and North Park this afternoon. It was perched on a fence post and I got to within 20 metres for stunning views.

Thanks Chris - a picture paints a thousand words......!
Had to walk home to get the camera and hope the bird was still around!
Glad it was. It made my day.

Thanks for the comments.
Surprised that the owl is still around this morning along the avenue which crosses North Park using the posts to watch the ground for prey. There's also a lot of standing water and a pair of Mandarin Duck have moved in to take advantage. Also 3 Buzzards, 2 of which are on the avenue feeding on the ground.
Despite the cold wind, lots of woodland bird active along Grape Lane including several Chiffchaff and Goldcrest. Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming. Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail and Mistle Thrush also seen.
