Barn Owl-Tyto alba Part II
And another of the Barn Owl. This time he was sitting in front of me in the grass during a rainstorm.

Hi Jeroen,

Lovely shot. This is in fact a Female (spotted front and would be spotted underwing also, she will have darker plumage than the male). I'm surprised she is not in a nest with eggs/young. I'm predicting my female to be on her first eggs by now, she has been commited to my box for about two weeks. Anyway........back to bthe image, she looks a damp! guessing the grass is wet, hopefully she not spending to long in it after prey! only very minor nit is there is no catchlight.

All in all a very good shot

Regards

Rob
