Ural Owl
Strix uralensis
Description
Very big (L 60 cm), washed-out owl with long tail. Breeds sparsely, locally more commonly in coniferous and mixed forest, in central Europe also in beech forest. Food consists mainly on small rodents, which are captured in clearings, glades and other open terrain. Numbers fluctuate to a lesser extent than with other small rodents specialists, which suggests that various birds constitute an alternative food source during poor rodent years. Resident.
Description
A pronounced seabird which comes ashore only to breed. Medium-sized (L 40 cm), has short and pointed bill, white breast and belly and grey-black upperparts. Nesting commonly occurs on cliffs facing the sea, alongside coasts or in islands. The Iberian population nest generally amongst rock crevices or recesses. Feeds mainly on fish close to colonies. Resident.
The yellow wagtail is a small graceful yellow and green bird, with a medium-length tail, and slender black legs. It spends much time walking on running on the ground. As its name implies, it wags its tail from time to time. It is a summer visitor, migrating to winter in Africa. It appears to have been in decline since at least the 1980s, most likely due to loss of habitat for breeding and feeding, making it an Amber List species.
Where does it live?
Breeding
Lowland pastures, water meadows, marshes, riversides and arable fields.
Wintering
Africa, in marshes.
Passage
As breeding, but also coastal marshes and suitable areas of short grass, including playing fields.
Where to see it
Suitable habitat in central and eastern England, eastern Wales and southern Scotland. A good place to look is lowland grassland where cattle are being grazed.
What does it eat?
Small insects, including flies and beetles.
What does it sound like?
Its call is a loud ‘psweep’ that is given in flight and from a perch.
