Magic Moments

I've spent two evenings this week watching a Barn Owl hunting on the edge of a wood. For me this was pure magic! I've seen Barn Owls before, but they have always been just a white flash, glimpsed momentarily in the headlights. This week though I found an area where this one likes to hunt. Watching it flying, gliding and hovering has been such a treat for me. You can see a video of it here. This really tested my DV Camera to it's limits, as it is filmed in the twighlight. However, if like me you've only ever glimpsed them, it may show you one of the best hunters in a way you haven't seen before.
