Barn Owl

The Barn Owl with its heart shaped face is a bird of open country like farmland or grassland but prefers to hunt along the edges of forests.

It’s a nocturnal bird, but it often becomes active already shortly before dusk and can sometimes be seen during the day.

I spotted this (half sleepy) specimen in the hayloft of ‘Maison Maraite’ (see picture below)

Dutch name : Kerkuil
German name : Schleiereule
Latin name : Tyto alba
