Birds of the Kaffrarian Frontier. 105 



173. Strix flammea. (Barn Owl.) 



Fairly common. On 1st May, 1904, I found a nest of this 

 species containing seven eggs, four of which hatched during 

 the month. Before the young birds were able to fly and 

 still required the attention of their parents, another hatching 

 of four eggs was completed.

Not uncommon. The stomach of a specimen shot 25th 

 November contained nothing but beetles.
