Had good views of a barn owl at the CCW Lovesgrove nature reserve this afternoon at about 4 pm. I initially glimpsed it flying low over the long grass as we drove past on the A44 so we found somewhere to turn round and returned to park in the lay-by (for some reason Guy refused to perform an emergency stop in the middle of the road so I could get a better look!). It was sitting on a fence just inside the reserve, about 30 yards from us, where it stayed for some time.
