Barn owl filmed sitting on a moving car on the A11 in Suffolk
A barn owl has been filmed perching on the open window frame of a car as it travels on a dual carriageway.
The video, which has been viewed thousands of times on TikTok, shows the bird balancing and flapping its wings as a driver slows down to approach the Fiveways Roundabout on the A11 in Mildenhall, Suffolk, on December 6.
Adrian Blumfield, from Hawk and Owl TrustBased in Fakenham, Norfolk, described the footage as “disturbing” and said he was extremely concerned.
“This behavior shows a complete disregard for the welfare of the bird, with loud noises, vibrations and movements potentially causing significant stress, while also putting the bird at risk of physical injury,” he said.
