Black is
the new white - at least it was when an extremely rare barn owl visited north
Essex recently.
Eclipse
is a black barn owl and part of a wildlife display show put on by Coda Falconry
- a bird of prey centre in Waltham Abbey that brought some of its birds up to
Hedingham Castle to show them over the half-term break.
According
to business owner Sarah Jane Manarin, black barn owls occur once every 100,000
births in the barn owl population and the highly unusual birds don’t last long
in their native habitat.
“You
don’t see black barn owls in the wild because their mother rejects them and
doesn’t feed them,” she said.
