Barn Owl Portrait ..........

Barn Owl….....

With heart shaped face, buff back and wings and pure white under parts the barn owl is a distinctive and much loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, and indeed the world, the bird has suffered declines over the past fifty years as a result of the degradation of once prey-rich habitats in the face of intensive agricultural practices. This decline, fortunately, has halted in many areas and the population may now be increasing.
Where to see them

Open country, along field edges, riverbanks and roadside verges.
When to see them

All year round; during the day, but best at dusk.
What they eat

Mice, voles and shrews

    Gorgeous- love the simplicity of this image. The shoftness contrasts with the harsh predator image, which works great!
