Barn Owl (Tyto alba)

Central Perthshire, Scotland

This bird was fascinated by the appearance of my head/shoulders through my sunroof & actually flew to the nearest fencepost to get a better view -from where it head-bobbed & puffed-up its feathering.
Perhaps it saw its own reflection in my lens.

Canon EOS 1D Mark II
1/640s f/5.6 at 500.0mm iso400 full exif

The soft colours are lovely, apart from the interesting story.
