The common barn owl

[Barkly]

I took this pic of an owl in the carpark outside my office a few years ago. It had obviously forgot to go home. When I check on what it was I discovered that the common barn owl is the must common bird on earth and is represented on every continent (except the artics of course).

Thanks for the lesson about the Barn Owl, I didn't realise they were so widespread. I see one around here every now and then, but always at night so I never get a chance to catch them with the camera. I would love to see one in daylight like you have there.

If they are so common, why haven't we all got a photo of one?
Good on you for getting a photo of one.
