Description

The Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) is a species of horned owl resident in much of Europe and Asia. The horned owls are a part of the larger grouping of owls known as the typical owls, Strigidae, which contains most species of owl. The other grouping is the barn owls, Tytonidae. Eagle Owl is a very large and powerful bird, larger than a Buzzard. It is 59-73 cm long with a 138-170 cm wingspan. It is capable of killing large prey items such as hares, crows and gulls. It is largely nocturnal, and is found in mountains and forests with cliffs and rocky areas. It usually nests on cliff ledges. The size, ear tufts and orange eyes make this a very distinctive species. It has a strong direct flight, which the serrated edges to its feathers make it like the Barn owl silent in flight.. The Eagle Owl's scientific name comes from its deep booming call. Again my apologies for my absence of late and hope to have time once I find another job in the meantime my best wishes and thanks for taking time to comment
