Short-eared Owl
This beautiful and impressive bird gets its name from small tufts of feathers on its head. It is often seen out and about during the day hunting over open countryside and grassland, in search of its favourite prey, voles. It is has the distiction of being found on all continents, with the exception of Antarctica and Australia.
