Barn owl demise

Barn Owl remains

   After a long spell of heavy winds, then torrentail rain over a near 24 hr period, this barn owl was probably pretty weak and hungry, however this is the second predated barn owl I've come accross this winter. The remains suggested a fresh raptor kill, from earlier in the morning. The predator in question had clearly left the scene, having had very little to eat! The bird was ringed details with BTO.
