Barn Owl

Annat Royd Lane - 3 Pink-footed Geese in the Greylag flock.
Winscar Reservoir - c100 Pink-footed Geese ESE.
 per Mick Cunningham.

This Barn Owl was photographed in a house at South View Farm, Dunford Bridge on 8th November. The picture was sent to Huddersfield Birdwatchers Club and forwarded to me by Mick Cunningham.

An unusual high moorland record.

As the house owner let his dogs out after dark the owl flew in through the open door and tried to hide behind the sofa! He picked it up, got his hands scratched, photographed it and then released it outside where it flew off strongly!
