After a hectic evening watching da footy, I ventured outside for a breath of air just as dusk was falling. I was barely out of the door when I saw an owl come floating over the top of the house, and away over the field next door. It looked pretty dark and there was no sign of it against the field background, whereas I'm pretty sure a barn owl would have shown up in that light. So, its going down as a long-eared as I'm sure that's what it was - unless it was a vagrant tawny of course...
