BARN OWL Tyto alba

This video footage was taken with a camera-trap and the video quality is poor because of the speed of the action but never-the-less quite interesting. I guess the Buzzard was after the mouse in the Barn Owl’s beak and hope the Owl survived the attack - it’s clearly tough for Barn Owls in Nidderdale!

The short clip below captures a Kestrel attempting a similar attack.
