This image of a Barn Owl was taken in March 2023 on a long weekend to Norfolk. It was our last day and the weekend had been a bit of a wash out and bitterly cold with the strong winds.  We turned up early at Cley Marshes, and parked just back from the shingle beach as another heavy rain shower passed overhead.

As the rain eased, I spotted movement over the marsh area behind the beach. Leaving the car, I was able get a series of images of the Barn Owl hunting for its breakfast. The image was taken on a Fuji x-T3 100-400mm f/5.6 1/1000 sec.

When out photographing wildlife I never leave home without warm clothing. Sometimes you can get lucky as with the Barn Owl, others you may be waiting for hours in the cold and damp for your subject to appear.
