I had another flyby from a Barn Owl last night. I was exiting the M2 at Ashbourne and the Owl crossed the slip road from the Baltrasna direction heading out of Ashbourne towards the copse on the hill opposite. I've had this happen a few times over the years at this particular spot.
The Barn Owls can sometimes be heard at night on Hickeys Lane (Ashbourne) and this is where I've seen them most. I spoke to one of the locals last summer and he says that he has seen them over many years in and around the area.
This was my first sighting this year, hopefully it wont be too long till I get another, as with most scarce birds it can sometimes be quite a while before they decide to show for you!
