At a Distance by byronbackyard
Barn Owls feed mostly on small mammals, mainly rodents, and birds, but some insects, frogs and lizards are also eaten. Barn Owls hunt in flight, searching for prey on the ground using their exceptional hearing. The heart-shaped structure of the facial disc is unique to these types of owls (Tyto species). The slightest sound waves are channelled toward the ears, allowing the owl to pinpoint prey even in complete darkness.

Hey this is a great capture, did you manage it in the wild or do you have an awesome studio set up?
Many thanks. I wish I had a great studio set up but even then I doubt you’d get a Barn Owl in there. There are a few owls in the bush off my backyard and the sky is a Byron Bay autumn sunset!
