Appearance:

A medium sized owl, which can give a very pale impression in flight. Quite similar to a Long-eared Owl with folded tufts, but differs in bright yellow eyes, darker wing-tips and heavily streaked breast in contrast to pale belly.

Sound:

Song: a series of 6-10 deep "ho"s evenly spaced. Much faster than long eared owl, and rising in pitch until the final "ho". Calls: a raspy, drawn, mewing "eeeeeeeeeah" (about 2 seconds), rising in pitch with accented ending.

Large, long-tailed eagle. Juveniles unmistakable, with white base of tail, dark terminal band and base of flight-feathers forming a white wing panel. Adult: dark brown with golden tinge to head. Variable amount of white wing panels and base of tail in intermediate plumages. Differs from other eagles by; wings held in shallow V when soaring, narrow wing base, flight feathers paler than coverts and body. Flight pattern elegant with a handful deep beats and typical alternate glides.

Not very vocal. A short, clear, yelping "kew". Sometimes in series in mellow tempo. Also mewing, Buzzard-like calls.
