Spotted Eagle Owl

Owl at a castle falconry display - Suffolk - UK

I'm not sure this is a spotted eagle owl. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

The spotted eagle-owl (Bubo africanus) is a medium-sized species of owl, one of the smallest of the eagle owls. Its length is 45 cm's and its weight is from 480 to 850 g. It has a 100 to 140 cm wingspan.

Its prey consists of small mammals, birds, insects, frogs, and reptiles. It often swallows quite large prey whole, with much head-jerking, and if the object is really challenging, pausing and resting with the mouth full. Prey too large for such treatment it will tear in the normal raptorial fashion, and it also tears shreds off prey to feed nestlings.
