The Barn owl is the most widespread species of owl on the planet and a staple of countryside evenings. In this factfile you'll find what they eat, where they nest, how long they live for, what they sound like and much more.

Thanks to Fred for letting me use some of his footage, his channel can be found at @WatchRWildlife
