EAGLE OWL Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) Eurasian Eagle Owl The Eagle Owl is a very large and powerful bird, similar in size, but typically slightly smaller than the Golden Eagle. It is the largest species of owl with a wingspan of up to 200 cm. Adult females can weigh in excess of 4 kg ( lbs), in comparison the common Barn Owl weighs about 500 grams ( lbs). It mainly feeds on small mammals, but can kill prey up to the size of foxes and young deer (up to 10 kg/22 lbs). Not considered to be naturally resident in the UK they have been observed in North Yorkshire, Shropshire and Lancashire where local authorities closed a footpath after several reported attacks on walkers during the bird's breeding season (May 2007). © PRESS PORTRAIT SERVICE Whites Green, Petworth, Sussex.
