This is a great clip that shows real nature in action.... Very early on Saturday morning, a large bird was seen swooping down to the ground directly in front of the webcam! Shortly after it became apparent that this was in fact an owl, which had sighted a tasty morsel in the ground. Not wanting to miss the opportunity of a tasty midnight-feast / early breakfast, the owl then proceeded to fly to the sign where it perched for a while while it gobbled up its tasty treat! It is likely that the food it spotted was a mouse or other small rodent rather than a worm but it still goes to show that the early bird gets the food! :D
I say that was a beautifull owl seen what he was doing. Alex

I thought it would be a barn owl but it looks too big and dark. I think it is possibly a tawny owl. Lovely video :)

in this case the stealthy bird gets the mouse.

This is amazing..I just discovered your web site last night and I did see this live. Very beautiful countryside! I did see the sun rise there as well before I went off to bed. Thanks so much for the website! Love the lambs and the birds and Jabberwocky poem was pretty nice too:-) Keep up the good work!
