Just another brick in the wall
Little owl
Thought it was at least a bit different !(Nice if you like bricks !!)
This is just a small part of the barn wall where they would emerge from. They had the choice of about 160 holes. It got like a game guessing which hole to look at !!This is one of the adults. At least the young used a row lower down.

I like the shot a lot John. my only change wouldbe to reduce the amount of wall you're showing. I think the top row of holes would be sufficient.
