Barn Owl
Tyto alba alba

Field Notes
Description:
T. alba is a pale, long-winged, long-legged owl with a short squarish tail. Its head and upper body typically vary between a light brown and a light colored and dark grey (especially on the forehead and back) feathers in most subspecies.
This owl does not hoot. It instead produces the characteristic "shree" scream.
Habitat:
This is a female called Nyra. She lives in captivity and forms part of a raptor flying show in Belgium.
Notes:
In the town where I live we have barn owls living in the church. Sometimes we heard them in the night but they are small and too fast for a nice picture :-)
