Barn owl.

We were sitting watching television. It was about 9.30.pm we heard a scrabbling noise at the window and a great flapping of wings.. It was a barn owl.We wondered what it was doing. Maybe it was attacking it`s reflection in the lighted window. The next morning as I went outside I saw the sweetest little harvest mouse,it was trying to hide in a tuft of grass. We realised that the owl must have dropped his supper as he flew over the house then tried to recatch it. We have a juvanile barn owl, it was a late hatching.It hasn`t quite got the hang of being an owl yet.When I was gardening one day it swooped low over my head. It`s flight was absolutly silent, it was so white and beautiful. I hope it can catch enough food to survive the Winter.
