Observation details
Dark-breasted-type Barn Owl at Southease My 'best' image at dusk with camera settings of ISO 1600 at 1/10th of a second! Whilst individuals of the Central European race, 'Dark-breasted Barn Owl' T.a. guttata have proved acceptable to BBRC and have been proven by British ringing recoveries of Continental origin, other records have failed to eliminate the possibility of intergrades (BB102:494-503). Furthermore, the appearance of dark-breasted-type Barn Owlets being fed by normal-coloured adults throws and element of doubt on the provenance of unringed guttata in Britain (BB99:210-211).
