Barn Owl Walk - Arran Wildlife Festival Learn about Barn Owls as the FCS ranger investigates breeding success in an active nest site.
The
Barn Owl is a beautiful bird with golden/buff coloured upper parts
laced with silver grey and white under-parts. It has a distinctive
white heart shaped face and when seen in flight the overall impression
is of a large white bird. The flight is buoyant and wonderfully
graceful, the wings (spanning 85cm) are much bigger than the body. A
Barn Owl is fully grown from only ten weeks old, it stands 25cm tall
(from head to feet) and is 33-35cm from the top of its head to the tip
of its tail. Barn Owls shriek and hiss, they don't hoot (that's the
Tawny Owl).!
