Description
The eyes of barn owls are important to the bird's ability to fly and hunt in the dark and the proportionately large eyes with large pupils are obviously a help with this. In addition the retina at the back of each eye is packed with more low light sensitive cells than most other birds. The disadvantage of this is that barn owls can only see in black and white and although their vision is superb, detailed research reveals that the differences between barn owl vision and that of other animals is not as startling as was once supposed, although they are far more sensitive than the eyes most diurnal birds.

A really wonderful photo.
An absolutely excellent piece of detailed photography Danny, I just love your bird shots, and thank you also for the interesting intro. hugs Jane xx
this grabbed me so hard and with so much tenderness, I shed a tear. I have such a passion for these owls. You really have shown how soft the feathers on the head are and the gentle blending of colors. The ridge down the face that nearly covers that flat, sharp beak and the "cut apple shape of the flattened face. Oh, but it also shows those long legs and their flexibility - they use them so well and accurately. Simply astounding shot, Danny!
GREAT CAPTURE
What a wonderful shot!
What a gorgeous beauty. Love the soft details of this lovely bird. Excellent captured. Bunny
nice work...
you manage to find the most beautiful owls and then flatter them with your capture
cool shot here
I would give so much for the dotted feather(not by harming the animal of corse) Wonderful pastel tone and as always you capture such a fine quality.
Great capture!
