This stunning Dark-breasted Barn Owl has been gracing the area for a few weeks now, and over the weekend, I was lucky enough to enjoy some incredible close-up views of this rare visitor. The contrast in its rich, dusky plumage compared to our native Barn Owls is striking—giving it a completely different appearance.
Interestingly, its behaviour also seems different. Unlike the typical British Barn Owl, which favours open fields and low perches, this individual often hunts from trees and chooses to roost deep within an evergreen—a behaviour I’ve rarely seen from our resident Barn Owls!
