Peak District Retreat Blog
A blog to share some items of interest about the Retreat and its environment - wildlife or other nature notes and images, or maybe something else. Our barn owl nest box has three cameras so barn owls will certainly feature in our blog, but so will other birds and other wildlife.
We do not commit to regular updates, rather we intend to post items of particular interest when they arise. We do have quite a back catalogue of past images which we may post to ‘back-fill’ the blog, while generally keeping the entries in chronological order.
The Ghost of a Barn Owl?
This photo has a ghostly appearance but with an innocent explanation.
The see-through appearance is due to the camera's handling of motion not coping well-enough with this large fast-moving object. The camera ‘remembers’ the scenery behind the owl and repeats that instead of showing all of the owl that is actually there.
