It's harder to get outside as days get shorter and colder, but GetOutside Champion Tom Wake still managed to catch this Barn Own while out for a run.
This photograph was taken at Woodbridge, near Ipswitch in Suffolk by.
"Time this walk well and you will be rewarded with a stunning sunset over the River Deben and Martlesham Creek. This 6.2 mile / 10km walk starts outside of Woodbridge station, where is plenty of parking, and circles around Martlesham Creek and the Deben Estuary. The terrain is easy but the views are stunning with big skies and colourful reflections. Keep an eye out and you might be lucky enough to see barn owls hunting, searching for their prey alongside the Creek. For the best sunset, ensure you're on the East side of Martlesham Creek with views back to Martlesham boat yard and Woodbridge, including the famous Tide Mill." -> OS Maps Route Link
