Barn Owls hunting in Snow - a photo on Flickriver

            A couple of hungry barn owls hunting for mice or voles under snow in the Derbyshire Peak District. Because of the snow, ice and freezing temperatures the owls struggle to locate their prey so need to hunt in the daylight hours, often in full sunshine.
