Eurasian Barn Owl (tyto alba)

This owl is probably known better as the “common” barn owl, which unlike other owls does not “hoot” but produces a deafening screech.

It has a “flat” heart shaped face with dark eyes and large powerful talons. It is found in every continent of the world except Antarctica
