Summary

[edit]
Description

A lifer for me in the most unexpected way. We travelled half a day to a bird sanctuary / grassland to see a rare bird. And in the area there were known to be two of these Owls.

When we were driving to the spot, it was spotted on a nice perch on the side of the road waiting for roadkills. Apparently there were two of them and one of them died while collecting roadkill, so only this one was left.

Barn Owls are nocturnal owls and we often find them around granaries and warehouses which often have lots of rats in and around them. But these Owls require night birding and a high powered torch to take some shots. I am happy I saw it and it blew away my expectations. Quite beautiful and large too.

Thanks in advance for your views and feedback.
