This owl is 60 to 75 cm long and has a wingspan of 160-188 cm. There are differences, but also overlap, in body size between the two sexes. Males weigh 1.5 to 2.8 kilograms, females are more substantial and heavier in the shoulders and weigh 1.75 to 4.2 kilograms.
The maximum age in nature is about 20 years. In captivity they can become considerably older. While resting on a lookout, females are almost immediately noticed for their somewhat drooping plumage, which seems 'too big'. Males generally make an 'athletic' impression with wings that are carried tightly on the body. Because of its size, massive body and thick head, the eagle owl cannot be confused with any other owl species in Europe. The face of the eagle owl is characterized by large eyes and often long ear tufts. The eye color varies from bright yellow to orange. The ear tufts are mostly black and are formed by a group of feathers which are moved by a separate muscle on the head. The beak is black and lies sunk in a white feathered skin fold; the throat fold.
I love to go out into nature and do landscapes and macro photography.

I would also be very honoured if my work were to hang on the wall at your place to add a little more colour to your interior...
