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.
