Barn owl. Composite image of high-speed photographs of a European barn owl (Tyto alba) swooping from the air to capture its prey (not seen). The barn owl has long pointed wings with a span of 95 centimetres. It is a nocturnal predator, hunting for small mammals and insects on the wing in open country. The flight of the barn owl is almost silent because of the arrangement of the flight feathers on its wings. When hunting it relies mostly on its acute hearing, which it uses to sense the movement of its prey on the ground before swooping down and grasping the victim with its sharp talons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent European barn owl in action. The composite image captures the high-speed photographs of this nocturnal predator swooping down from the air, ready to capture its prey, which remains unseen. With its long pointed wings spanning an impressive 95 centimetres, the barn owl is a skilled hunter known for its silent flight. This remarkable feature is attributed to the arrangement of its flight feathers on its wings. Equipped with acute hearing, the barn owl relies heavily on this sense to detect even the slightest movement of small mammals and insects on the ground. Once it senses its prey's presence, it swiftly descends and seizes its victim using sharp talons that are perfectly designed for capturing and grasping. The image beautifully portrays both power and grace as this carnivorous bird effortlessly glides through open country in search of food. Through high-speed photography techniques, we witness every detail: from the intricate feathers that enable flight to those formidable claws or talons used for pouncing upon unsuspecting prey. This stunning photograph not only highlights nature's incredible beauty but also provides a glimpse into one of Earth's most fascinating creatures – a true symbol of wild life at work.
