A better shot of my local Barn-y from a couple of nights ago, when I was in position a bit earlier and with nicer light

I spotted this barn owl hunting in the fields that border my garden just as it was going dark last night. ISO 12800 and still a little noisy around the wingtips but it cleaned up quite nicely in Topaz.
Fingers crossed he's a regular visitor and will have another look for him tonight
