Barn Owls and Waxwings

Went out yesterday p.m.on what was the nicest day of the year so far.Temperatures were in double figures and there was no wind.My plan was to look for the mass migration of toads which takes place at this time of the year. I visited a local wetland nature reserve but as yet no toads were present.However I was pleasantly surprised to discover a party of waxwings,around thirty in number,which were enjoying the warm sunshine and flycatching from the treetops. I managed a few shots of these bonny birds before leaving for another location not far from home where I hoped for sightings of the resident barn owls. I was not disappointed and around four p.m.the barn owl suddenly appeared .It was later joined by it's mate and both birds flew close from time to time giving some great opportunities for the camera in the wonderful late afternoon light.I hope you enjoy the images above and thanks for looking in.
