Barn Owl hunting during mid morning, guess it has young mouths to feed. Shot at Bempton Cliffs on my xt50 and 150-500mm

They can see to hunt small field mice and similar ok during the day, they just normally prefer to hunt dusk/dawn as there are normally less people about. This was near a busy path at Bempton so quite a few people about to see the gannets.
