A Barn Owl Named Plop

It seems a strange name but this barn owl has been named Plop ! He’s a beautiful bird looked after at Dunrobin Castle falconry.
It’s not a brilliant shot as he was some distance away from me.
In the UK it is illegal to take wild birds of prey, their chicks or their eggs. Birds used for flying displays are normally those that have been injured or are unable to hunt their own food for whatever reason or have raised as chicks from parents not in the wild (maybe injured themselves). A licence is required for this.

A Barn Owl Named Plop belongs to the following groups:

    Oh Jaqui how wonderful … if you look back in my portfolio you will find a picture of Plop sitting on her ‘dad’s’ glove. She is an amazing bird isn’t she?!
