This is also known as an eagle-owl. He is a little smaller than a bald eagle and bigger than a snowy owl.  It has a wide range across much or Europe and Asia, but is also fairly sedentary in that they rarely travel out of their own territory.

I like the selvedge fir tree, makes it looks as though bubo bubo (love a repeating Latin name) is perched on the top.
