Watch these barn owl chicks cope with the heat in their nest box by 'gaping'. A bit like a dog panting to draw in more cool air they reduce their body temperatures in this way. There's been a heat wave here in the UK with daytime temperatures soaring up to 32 degrees here in Yorkshire. 
An Artist's Research: I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire. I use nestcams to study animal behaviour so that I can capture the individual characters of my wild subjects in paint. I've shared the best of my video research on this channel. I hope you enjoy it!
