Thank you, yeah, the Tyto Alba Affinis is found in South Africa too, from what I can ascertain. I was at a Raptor Sanctuary Christy, there is such a diversity of bird life there, which is amazing to see.

Neat photo! Barn Owls are all over the world - the most widespread owl species. You've got a lot of birds of prey pics...were you at a sanctuary of some kind? This guy looks to be wearing jesses... Sounds exciting!
(there is a mission for captive animals)
