This Barn owl was caught in Greenbushes, Western Australia. Jessica, who lives on a small hobby farm found the owl caught in their netted orchard. The owl must have spotted prey moving about in the orchard and went for it. Its claw caught in the net and it could not escape until some skilful hands rescued the bird. The owl was not hurt and was released after Jessica took a quick snapshot. The owl and its beautiful white face left an impression on Jessica which resulted in her researching owl facts. Take a look at her facts pages and have a try at making one yourself.
