Our photographer in residence, Brian Macfarlane, spends many early mornings waiting in cold, damp places for barn owls - often to no avail. Occasionally his patience is rewarded in unexpected ways: -
"The only real thing of interest I captured was a blue-banded demoiselle caught in a spiders web. It had only just got trapped and I was tempted to release it, but I saw the spider approaching so I decided to photograph it instead."
