<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikebarth/55470749699/" title="Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55470749699_17cb14cfe1_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Long-eared Owl (Asio otus)" /></a></p>

<p>one of Britain's most elusive breeding owls, strongly associated with coniferous woodland, dense scrub, hedgerows and shelterbelts, particularly where thick nesting cover lies close to open ground for hunting. It is highly nocturnal and spends much of the day concealed in dense vegetation, making it considerably easier to detect by its distinctive calls than by sight. Breeding pairs often use old stick nests built by crows, magpies or other birds rather than constructing their own. Its main prey in Britain is the Field Vole, supplemented by other small mammals and, particularly in winter, small birds.<br />
<br />
In Britain, the Long-eared Owl is a scarce but widely distributed breeding species, with an estimated 1,800–6,000 breeding pairs. It occurs particularly in northern and eastern England and lowland Scotland, with smaller and more scattered populations elsewhere; it is notably less frequent in south-west England and Wales. British birds are largely resident, although northern and higher-altitude birds can move south in winter, when Britain is also joined by migrants from Scandinavia and continental Europe. Wintering birds may gather communally at traditional roosts, sometimes making these sites one of the few reliable opportunities to see several Long-eared Owls together. Despite its broad distribution, the species remains seriously under-recorded because of its secretive, nocturnal behaviour.</p>
