British Sea Birds

When I went out on my customary hour-long bike ride at 5:30 the other afternoon, the sun was still up. This is a marvellous development.

I often see a barn owl out hunting in the dusky air on my route. I saw one gliding over the grassy embankment of the river the other day, then a day or two later I saw one a few miles away flying over some fields. Maybe it’s the same one. I don’t know if they have territory as such or hunt over large distances. Either way, they’re beautiful creatures.
