Watch this tawny owl take out a barn owl! The barn owl is perched on a post Robert Fuller placed in the garden for owls, quietly eating its prey. Watch its eyes swivel up when it first notices the tawny approaching. But there is no time to get out of the way before, bam, the tawny knocks the barn owl clean off its perch. Keep watching to see another barn owl swoop down as if to dive bomb the tawny. But the aggressive tawny stands its ground. It returns to the post but somehow in the melee the prey was either dropped and fell to the ground or the barn owl hung on to it.
