Barn Owl - a first sighting here

Never expected that the first time I saw a Barn Owl in Kent it would be whilst standing on the forecourt of a service station.
The owl was over the other side of a very busy road and was filtering its way through the outer branches of some large trees. This took place at midday on a cold December day.
I frequently walk this area with my dog, but having been away for the last few days, this bird may just have arrived. Fingers crossed it stays. The environment is well-suited in many ways as it is traditional flood plain, with tufted grass meadows which should hold plenty of voles.
