Barn Owl, Tyto alba

The NatureSpot Photo of the Month for January is this image of a Barn Owl taken by NatureSpot contributor Marian Markham. More...

The weather in January has not been very kind to owls, their silent stealth plumage does not stand up well to the wet. This Barn Owl, Tyto alba, was no doubt hungry and in search of a tasty rodent for supper. Let's hope it found a meal!
