Globally owls represent a large bird family with a cosmopolitan distribution, being found on almost every continent. About 190 species of owl are known to science, seven of which are known from Britain: the Barn owl (Tyto alba); Tawny owl (Strix aluco); Little owl (Athene noctua); Long-eared owl (Asio otus); Short-eared owl (Asio flammeus); Eagle owl (Bubo bubo); and, very occasionally in the far north, the Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus).
