Long-Eared Owl
Asio otus
The northern long-eared owl has mottled orange-brown feathers, distinct white eyebrows and striking orange eyes. It has large head feathers or ‘ear tufts’ which become raised when the owl is alarmed.
It is medium in size, with a wingspan of 95cm. It looks deceptively long and thin when in flight, but is actually no bigger than a woodpigeon. This owl particularly enjoys woodland edges, as they prefer to roost and nest within dense stands of wood but prefer to hunt over open ground.
The long-eared owl focuses its diet almost entirely on small rodents, especially voles, though will include birds and insects, and is one of the most widely distributed and most numerous owl species in the world.
