Snoozing in the corner

Snoozing in the corner (Tyto alba)

I have been trying for nearly 18 months now to get this shot, knew where he roosted but either couldn't get close enough or he wasn't in. Finally managed to sneak in today, get some shots and sneak back out again AND he was back asleep in the corner when I turned to check once I was well away! ISO 1600 f5.6 and hand held at 1/250th of a second into the gloom.
