BARN OWL hunting at M1 J8, at 'island' of grass & scrub bordered by M1 & A414, Buncefield / Leverstock Green, 01.10.

BARN OWL hunting at M1 J8 at 01.10. Quartering the 'island' of grass & scrub bordered by M1 & A414 between Buncefield & Leverstock Green - my first actual sighting other than hearing one in the Hemel area, though they were known to frequent the Buncefield area before the explosion. Great to know they are returning there.
