Long-eared Owl - Asio otus

Canon f4 for 1/1000th @ iso400
The most nocturnal and rarest owl in the U.K., so unusual to see one hunting in daylight. There are approx. only 1500 to 2000 pairs in the U.K.
Similar to the Short-eared Owl. Aside from the obvious of smaller ears the Short-eared Owl has yellow eyes.
