Description


This stately looking eagle owl, a bird that looks amazing when you are able to catch the reflections from it's beautifully clear orange eyes. And associations with royalty, have always been made with it. The French call it Le Grand Duc, in deference to its regal deportment, while the Spaniards have dubbed it bubo real in other words, the royal owl. In some circles, however, the eagle owl is regarded as more of a cad than a king. And now having established itself in the UK. There are some worries that this powerful predator may be too much for the wildlife to handle. And the countryside too small. Of all the predators of the forest, eagle owls are the most evolved for ruling their domain with not so much as an iron fist as razor sharp talons. Thanks for taking time to look and any comments you care to make.

I would not wish to get on the wrong side of this chap Danny, never mind the talons look at that ripping beak. Excellent capture and interesting information, I didn't know they were living wild in England. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

That beak is amazing. Long and sharp. The ear tufts really lay back like the ears of an angry dog. Stunning profile!

What an absolute perfect shot Danny. Excellent!!! Eagle owls are so gracious. We have a bird park close to where I live where I have had the priviledge of 'experiencing' the silent flight of these majestic creatures. XX

I love this image of the Eagle Owl Dan and your write up on it with the background is superb. Also thanks so much for pointing out the reflections in his eyes, you are right they are amazing. Surely such a majestic bird can be taken care of and not become a threat.
