The Long-Eared Owl is a medium-sized owl, smaller in size than a woodpigeon. It often looks long and thin, with head feathers (known as ear tufts, even though they are not ears) which it raises when alarmed. It is buff-brown with darker brown streaks and deep orange eyes. Its natural habitats are woodland, farmland and wetland. Its length is 35-37cm and the wingspan 84-95cm.
