Long eared Owl . part 2 .Watching over the gardens

I had a text from my neighbour`s saying that the Owl was seen during the afternoon in the garden.

We have only seen activity at dusk and night which has been exceptional and I was hoping to see  one during the day.

With no Crows bothering them and only one regular Magpie that she keeps an eye on daily, they are very used to the families and children playing during the day and seem to be content.

It took a while to find ,even though this stunning Long eared Owl and it was sitting in plain view snoozing and silently watching over the garden.
