Megan McCubbin on the Barn Owl

A new series of Tweet of the Day for Sunday morning revealing personal and fascinating stories from some fresh voices who have been inspired by birds, their calls and encounters.

Barn owls are, in zoologist and TV presenter Megan McCubbins opinion, the best of birds, and a bird of great beauty. As they silently fly around our countryside at night, folklore and superstition once followed them. But these days these owls are well loved across the globe, even if their call leaves a little to be desired.
