We are lucky here in that there are two farms where barn owls can be seen regularly - one of the farms has nesting boxes and the farmer has a web cam inside one. Despite subtle body language, I have not yet been invited to see any footage. The farmer's wife did mention that the sight of owlets trying to swallow a whole mouse is pretty disgusting - just like my table manners.
They are magical birds. Last year, we saw short eared owls, but not for quite a while now.

Hi Dave.
I've got greenfinches, goldfinches, blue tits, great tits, starlings, blackbirds, chaffinches, dunnocks, and collared doves, all feeding determinedly in spite of really severely strong winds. Don't know how they're holding on! (Not the doves, of course, they're on the ground.)
And the valley is being buffeted by the most amazing weather, Van Gogh trees, and drivingwaves of rain! 
Indeed, Stephen Speelberg couldn't create better!
