A barn owl has been captured on camera, closely guarding her brood of nine eggs. It's reportedly the largest number of eggs caught on camera since the Essex Wildlife Trust installed their barn owl webcam a decade ago. The barn owl pair have made their home on the Blue House Farm nature reserve near North Fambridge, Essex.
