Barn Owls are birds of prey, hunting and catching small mammals, hunting by Swooping down on their prey unannounced on silent wings. Barn Owls have a soft fringe along the outside of their flight feathers absorbing the noise of their wings flapping during their flight, they listen out for the rustling of small mammals in the grass, mostly small mammals, particularly rats, mice, voles, and other rodents. Most of their prey are active at night.

Barn owls are very striking in appearance. Females tend to be larger, weighing around 570 grams, while males weigh around 470 grams. Females also have a slightly longer body length (34 to 40 cm for females, 32 to 38 cm for males) and wingspan. Wingspan of males and females ranges from 107 to 110 cm.

If you’ve never seen a barn owl before, then winter can be a great time of year to look, as they often extend their hunting hours into daylight to find the extra food they need to get them through the colder months.
