FEMALE BARN OWL...
Unfortunately, this poor Barn Owl succumbed to the relentless high winds and torrential rain, that we have been getting over the past few weeks. She was found in a dutch barn and the reason for her death was starvation. It is one of the most common causes for Barn Owls in bad weather. Barn Owls hunt over open ground, listening for their prey in the grasses etc, they cannot do this in continuous wind and rain, as their feathers are not waterproof and they are unable to hear their prey.....Very Sad.
