Barny!

Rich dropped me off on his way to Ilkley this morning, just before sunrise.  It was damp overnight and I was hoping that I might get lucky spotting the local barn owl that I'd heard about.

This was the second one.  
That's a welcome kind of lucky - it's been one of those weeks!

I then enjoyed travelling light on my bike without my camera because nothing was going to match the owls - apart from a mole. 

So I didn't look down.
