Barn Owl, Ringlet, Meadow Brown

A walk round this morning revealed very little until a brief encounter with one of the Barn Owls, feeding out in the open at around 9am.  Unfortunately it dropped from view and I didn't have time to wait for it to reappear, so I went back in the evening and had a couple more fairly brief glimpses before it flew back towards the barn.  

In the same area were a couple of Ringlets, Meadow Browns and one or two somewhat worn Chrysoteuchia culmella.
