Amazing wildlife footage of a barn owl chick getting scared by thunder and lightning in the middle of a dramatic storm in North Yorkshire, UK.

Wildlife artist Robert E Fuller uses surveillance cameras in his garden to inform his detailed wildlife paintings. He has more than 60 cameras filming the action throughout his garden in Thixendale 24 hours a day.

This morning a camera hidden inside a barn owl nest captured a barn owl chick feeling very nervous in the recent UK storm! This owl species was spooked by the sound of the rain clattering on to the roof of its nest box and is then terrified by the sound of thunder.

“This chick’s reaction is so different to the tawny owls stoic response, the artist said.

Turn the sound on to hear the sound and watch the clip to see the chick flee to the back of the nest in shock at the sound.

Artist Robert Fuller shares his live footage of wildlife with visitors to his art gallery in Thixendale. Visitors can watch action as it happens and see how these films inform his artwork.
