I see so many wonderful things when out in the field with my horse or riding, wildlife, dewy spider webs, sunrise, low lying fog over a beautiful landscape..... but last night was the best yet!
I was walking along my electric fence line checking it as ever in the pitch black and my head torch on and as I approached the last but one post, there sat on top of it no more than a stretched arm width away was a beautiful tawny owl, just sat there watching me, so close I could touch it.
I have not seen anything so special and wonderful in a very long time, especially at that close quarters. It flew off after about 6 or so seconds, but I was privilaged to see it so close....amazing. And all because I have my horsey to do....how lucky am I.
