I took a different route home from the hairdresser's this morning & called in at Falconhigh, hoping for a couple of shots.

I found this barn owl just having breakfast.

Unfortunately I was too slow getting the camera out to capture the whole chick but just managed this shot of its claws.

What a quick eater!
Great capture!

In knew in an instant this was one of your owls! May I assume he's not eating meal worms? What a handsome bird!

Little feet peeping out of that mouth Hazel, I think I'm glad it had almost all gone! We had a stray falcon in our woods today. It had gone out of its area while they were flying it. Some amazing trackers to find its whereabouts but they got it in the end.

How is it that I can eat chicken without regrets, but to read about his dinner is somewhat painful! And yet how could one deny an owl? Oh the conflict!!!

It may be a small consolation to know that the chick was (previously deep-frozen) dead!

Yikes- that's a little gruesome! But after all, that's what owls eat. Great shot.
