Has she just recently started barking? have you had her hearing checked? It's just a thought but my last collie girl got much noiser in her dotage as her hearing and eyesight failed so things tended to just 'appear' and startle her.

I thought you'd started baking scones & victoria sandwiches :D :D
As Chaumsong says, its probably the failing of her sight and hearing that is causing her to bark at "shadows" - Purdey would sometimes do it too.
I agree I had the same problem with my old boy he would bark if I left the room as if calling me back so he could see me. I just asked him to come along with me to stop him panicking which he was quite happy with. Dont you just love the old darlings ....theyre just so special...
