Barn owl pictures and paintings
Pictures of barn owls and other British
owls
This
page focuses on my barn owl pictures. The
barn owl, Tyto alba, which
is surely one of our most popular owls is one of my oft repeated subject. The picture of a
barn owl hovering over an atmospheric marsh never fails to inspire.
Other pictures displayed include the tawny owl, little and short
- eared owl.

Owls are more vocal than
they are visible, they are cryptically camouflaged and during the
day most species roost huddled up in cover. Local tawny owls vocalize
regularly and can often be seen hunting when they have young. Knowledge
of the different owl species' calls enables me to detect the occasional
visits by barn, long-eared owls and little owls.
Knowing the "hissing
squawk" calls for food of young tawny owls means that I come
across them every spring.

OWL LEAVING
THE NEST
This youngster was located only a short
stroll from my door. Calling from a post overlooking a busy cycle
track it hadn't been noticed by anybody else. Owls like many species
of predator can be mobbed by their prey species. In an attempt to
avoid unwanted attention young owls keep their eyes closed. This safety
mechanism was also adopted for me.

aluco
Please note the barbed wire might look
like its passing through the owls head but I assure you that they
have a good depth of fluff on top! |
