Great Horned Owl from North America. Popular with falconers. Closely related to the Eagle Owl of Europe

One was free-flying around Dalkey a year or two back. When it landed on the roof of a house a concerned resident phoned the offices of BirdWatch Ireland and described this 'huge owl'. The conversation went something like....."Are you sure, we dont have big owls in this country.........perhaps it was a Long eared Owl" (about 1/4 the size) "No, this a big owl" " Really, how big ?" " Well, its big in comparison to the cat it has just caught and is eating.......!"

Lock up your children.

Here's one from the Caves at Ailwee this weekend - they have a Birds of prey exhibit.

Turns out owls can only rotate their heads 270 degrees - same as every other bird! it just looks more impressive with an owl due to the lack of a visible neck. See, I learned something

And then there was this fellow:
