Description
Captured this female Barn owl early on a Misty morning via a bag hide she had caught some prey but rather too small to see in her clutched claws on her way back to the nest.
Barn owls are crepuscular meaning that they are active before dawn and at twilight. This corresponds with the times of greatest activity of voles, shrews and mice. Their flight is purposeful; barn owls are creatures of habit, preferring to hunt a well-known territory where their success rate is guaranteed.
They will repeatedly fly back and forth over an area, a technique known as ‘quartering’. They glide a few feet above the ground, sometimes stalling, twisting and cartwheeling until they locate a target. They will then hover before plunging for the prey.
Thanks for taking time to view and any comments etc. And apologies for not being around much the last day or two.. Had to fix some PC and net problems
