New Species - Barn Owl

It is good to record a new bird species - even if I only heard it rather than saw it. I have seen barn owls before in the area but this was the first one at the Moat House for me. I heard it from inside and went out to look. I had narrowed it down to the Norway Spruce just the other side of the moat but a couple of minutes later some idiot helicopter arrived noisily right above us and the owl was gone.
