A pair of long-eared owls
A pair of long-eared owls, one large, one small, inside a shallow alcove in Paradise Park, a wildlife sanctuary in Hayle, Cornwall. The long-eared owl is medium-sized. Its head feathers are not really ears, but are known as ear tufts, which it raises when alarmed. It is nocturnal and secretive, eats small rodents, and small birds in winter
