AUSTRALIAN BARN OWL

Photographed near Kaitaia, North Island, New Zealand, May 2019

(*  194)                   BARN OWL                   Tyto alba

NEW ZEALAND                 125

Very rare native. Found almost worldwide in open country; vagrant to New Zealand until they bred successfully near Kaitaia since 2007.

NOTE: horrible photographs but recognisable and a family group of three were seen and heard very clearly.
