Eurasian Scops Owl (Otus scops) family, birding in Corfu, wildlife of Greece

The Long-eared Owl, scientifically known as Asio otus, is a medium-sized owl distinguished by its ear-like tufts. Its mottled brown plumage provides effective camouflage in wooded areas. Active at night, it hunts small mammals, birds, and insects. Distributed across Europe, Asia, North America, and parts of Africa, it seeks refuge during the day in dense vegetation to avoid predators. #reels #instagram #owl #bird #animals #nature #wildlife | Bird Lovers
