| Résumé : | A female "Dark-breasted Barn Owl" Tyto alba guttata was found breeding with a male of the nominate subspecies T. a. alba at a site in Cheshire & Wirral in May 2014. Three eggs were laid, from which two chicks hatched and fledged. The female showed all the plumage features associated with Dark-breasted Barn Owl and the record was accepted by BBRC. The two chicks are described and compared with the adults. This is only the second record of Dark-breasted Barn Owl breeding in Britain. |
