The Marsh Owl is a medium-sized owl characterized by its relatively short ear tufts, pale facial disc, and ability to hunt over open marshlands. It is well-adapted to life in grassy, wetland environments.
Where to spot
Found in open habitats such as grasslands, savannas, marshes, and agricultural fields, typically near water. Its widespread but patchy range covers parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia.
How to spot
Look for it flying low over open fields, often resembling a large harrier. It typically roosts on the ground or in low vegetation, making it difficult to spot when resting. Listen for its soft 'kew-kew-kew' calls.
When to spot
Crepuscular and nocturnal, but frequently active during the day, especially in the early morning or late afternoon.

Unlike most owls, Marsh Owls often hunt during the day, particularly during overcast conditions, quartering low over grasslands and marshes in search of prey.
