Graceful Barn Owl Hunting in the Daytime | BBC Earth

[@aves4081]

This is the most beautiful owl species! Barn owls are so elegant. Sadly it is such a short video

[@God-xd1wr]

Aren’t they all?

[@dancindog4089]

But they will screech like satan but they are so beautiful

[@exiledwolf2601]

This owl is great for rodent control , I bet farmers loves to have them

[@yousefjasem4988]

Aves barn owls are adorable!!!!!!!!

[@markessiemelvin]

true dude maybe can see mine soon XD

[@XxPANCOTTOxX]

They have a near perfect teardrop shape to them, must be insanely aerodynamic.

[@Stoop_Kidd]

its actually just their feathers that make them look aerodynamic, without the feathers they look like a tiny chicken with long legs and wings.

[@theflyingcrud]

@@Stoop_Kidd that's true, but remember that feathers are part of their bodies as well. Almost like saying dogs look weird without fur (true, but hopefully almost never applicable)

[@michaelscarn5625]

@@Stoop_Kidd barn owls are one of the few (possibly the only?) species of bird that makes no sound when it beats its wings. The wings are shaped so that it disturbs the surrounding air as little as possible

[@sydneyatkins6249]

@@michaelscarn5625 thats all owls but yeah

[@randompheidoleminor3011]

Not really, their faces are disk shaped to be able to better absorb soundwaves to determine the acoustic location of prey at night. A better example of aerodynamics would intuitively be the fastest bird in the world - the peregrine falcon.

[@natemarx4999]

The way that owl is flying is breathtakingly poetic.

*Owls are the most quiet flyers.*

[@Pigyythebest]

Yeah they truly are,also when they showed the barn owl flying in the air,was it just me or for a moment you thought that the sound was turned off but quickly remembered that owls fly very very silently?

[@miawang4554]

Just the act of watching it fly. How you can visibly see its body move upward as it slowly flaps its wings is hypnotic.

[@DevastatorKnight]

What a beautiful and majestic animal.

[@Ziaotic]

barn owls are the coolest owls tbh.

[@fishlivesmatter]

theyre aliens in disguise

Bro, get of your phone and say hello to someone (next time anyway 😉)

[@minadabunny]

Barn owls are such breathtakingly beautiful creatures! 😍

[@Flowerfairyy27]

In my opinion the most beautiful execution of flight among other birds. So calm and controlled ❤️

[@altonwilliams7117]

I came face to face with one in broad daylight. He was standing in tall grass and kept peeping up over the top of it to see where I was. Owls are beautiful creatures.

[@ahmedkotwal4970]

Watching them fly is soo satisfying and soothing.

[@HammerHedemann]

My favorite of all birds. Graceful, elegant and beautiful. A bird of wonders. Imagination. And a flight as movement made poetry.

[@sunitasurendran2001]

So reminded me of a cherished owl I knew, BARNEY...Miss you wherever you are..

[@johnnywalker7961]

I love to hearing Owl in the night if I was in bed it so relaxing to listen Owl in the night.

The most beautiful owl i have ever seen in my life

[@Joygloom]

How lucky I am to share life with a being like this.

[@dragonsalmomslayer]

wow you put that thing in a barn and i bet it feels right at home

[@Suvzillaa]

The shots, music and poetic narration made this a beautiful watch, and very moving. Thank you

Like an angel in the forest of the moon light 🌲🌲🌲🌌🌙

[@VixenAurora]

They are so beautiful!

[@TheGoldenConnorific]

Barn Owls have grown on me

[@goodsolonius7305]

Ive seen many owl species in person and all of them have one trait in common. When they flap their wings, they make literally no sound

[@montellallen3133]

Intelligent flight... If only we could fly and fly so effortlessly.

[@jayvee8914]

That facial outline.... Then that graceful wings....

[@masterchief6472]

It's Mumei

[@asterisdivinity]

It's so cool deftones invented this owl

[@anirudhsharma2415]

Owls makes flying looks so easy, as if the other birds just struggle from falling to the ground.

[@cevothy]

I could watch this all day

[@zoej1844]

It looks like an angel...

[@aaronz1326]

Why add wing flapping sounds? These creatures famously don't make sound when flying. Add crazy sound effects if you must, but not ones that directly contradict their greatest evolutionary advantage.

[@phunkyboy3958]

beautiful birds but the sound of these at night sends chills down the spine, if you don't recognize the sound especially

[@flamomo]

These guys have a nest in my Nieghbor’s palm tree, 2 parents and 4 babies. I love them but they sure make a lot of horrific noises.

[@Aberration79]

My favourite bird ever. Absolutely adore these beautiful ghosty white faces.

[@Lwrjawfla]

0:00 why does it look like a stump with wings

[@yaxantonio3719]

According to my mom, my great-granddad was sleeping one eavening when a huge one of these guys perched on the window where my great-granddad was sleeping

[@pandurangagl8056]

Beautiful barn owl flying in bright light day, it is time for hunting and finally it is succes got the prize and satisfied, finally fly back

[@heathercarpetcleaning1228]

i could watch them all day!!!

[@thesenate5913]

Owls Flies like a silent hunter Screeches like a toddler that lost their toy.

[@chriskelly5296]

Last night I managed to catch 5 minutes of a barn owl hunting in daytime, amazing! It was a successful hunt!

[@krishnachetna7567]

I didn't knew owl's had really long wing but when the owl is flying it's so satisfying to watch it

[@umarkhair4044]

In Malaysia we call this bird as Burung Hantu which in english means Ghost Bird due to its stealthy and nocturnal nature. A lot of small Owl shelter can be found around the paddy field as its function as a natural pest control against rats.

[@michaelashworth7294]

I watched one hunting the other day. West pennine moors lancs, beautiful

[@thedemon2380]

[@andrewjohn7952]

Was so lucky today. I was driving along a country road today when one flew up out of the grass verge and glided about eye level along the side of my car within about 10ft of the vehicle. So annoyed that I couldn’t capture it on video

cool ending, so unexpected

Their faces act like radar dishes, picking up any sound made by a scuttling rodent in the vegetation below; their feathers designed in such a way as to ensure silent flight over their hunting grounds.

[@moein-lifestyle]

Beautiful bird & flying . 🦉🦉🦉

[@lavenderflowersfall280]

Poetry.... When people would talk about barn owls I never thought there was anything really remarkable about them just some old musty hooter Grandpa's barn or something these are really beautiful maybe it's because no one ever made a big deal about them LOL

[@Beansiontoast]

Cute little 🦉

[@alasdairmackintosh]

Some designers of military aircrafts used owls as inspiration to try and make more silent jets and stuff like that

[@susie1175]

Ah yes, the Barn Owl. So graceful yet terrifying
