Ural owls have a similar plumage the year round; body length is about 60 centimetres. Our most frequently occurring owl has a population of about a couple of thousand pairs, the eggs should be in the nest as are those of tawny owls and in their pair too only the female incubates . The male is just a little smaller, weighing 700 grams whereas the female weighs nearly a kilo. Back plumage is brown, breast brown with streaking. Large and uniformly grey facial discs – eye colour is dark, the underside of the yellow beak grey. The tail is long and wedge-shaped.

 

Their  nest is in a broken tree trunk, or the nests of other larger birds are successfully used (is a male looking for a new nest for the family?) but they also move into nest boxes or blocks with large openings.

 

 

Days are ever longer, thus we see  birds roving about more often…
