The Eagle Owl, the world's second largest owl.
The Blakinston's Fish Owl is even slightly larger.
The eagle owl is widely distributed, including in the Netherlands.
Beautiful owl with enormous talons.
Like all owls, it flies almost silently.
They are not aggressive birds but can cause a lot of damage with their talons.
Besides being big, they are also really strong!
In flight, the wingspan is imposing.
So just before landing, the large talons are clearly visible.
The food of the Eagle Owl consists mainly of small rodents, mice, rats, squirrels, etc.
