Roosting Barn Owl, east Kerry, 11th May 2013 (Davey Farrar).
Barn Owls hide themselves away by day, so it is rare to see one perched in the open. This one, a male, is perched on an overhead roof beam, inside a small, derelict cottage. The nest is in the chimney of the same building and Barn Owls have nested here for at least the last four years.
