Owl's that?!

It was a little after 6:00pm when we started driving into town.  We hadn't long turned out of our driveway when we spotted a bird hovering just near the fenceline. 

As no other cars were around, I pulled over to the wrong side of the road, so as to view and photograph this Barn Owl.

About a month ago a Barking Owl visited a tree beside our storage container and tonight's tyto was on the boundary of the paddock that runs behind our house.  Nice neighbours!

Definitely a highlight of the day/night!
