Long- eared Owl | Waldohreule | Asio otus - northern Germany, February 2018

 

Espiacially in winter long eared owls have day time roost in groups within dense conifers. This roost with over 20 owls was located in the middle of a small village next to a bank, but nobody wanted to park under the trees, preventing dropped feaces and pellets on cars.

 

Besonders im Winter sammeln sich Waldohreulen in dichten Nadelbäumen um tagsüber in Gruppen zu schlafen. Dieser Schlafplatz lag mitten in einem Dorf eben einer Bank. Der Parkplatz unter den Bäumen war schon übersäht mit Gewöllen.
