Red-Headed

I saw a barn owl once, which was quite unusual, they are not really commonly seen around this area. They are amazing birds, one of my faveorites in the owl family

I live in the country & one night I was sitting outside looking at the stars when a Barn owl flew right over me & landed only a few metres away from me. He flew silently, not making a sound, yet must have had a wingspan of well over a metre.
