		Owls are the only birds that blink as humans do, bringing the upper eyelid down.
		Owls are often said to be wise, but a goose or parrot demonstrates much more intelligence.
		The "wise old owl" association probably sprang up because, like people, their eyes are in the front of their face, giving them a human, and therefore "wise", appearance.

		The owl was once associated with sorcery, and the dark side of life, and has a long connection with the supernatural and Halloween.
		Special wing feathers silence an owl’s flight and muffles the sound of the air rushing over the surface of their wings: this allows an owl to hunt by taking their victims by surprise, it also allows the owl to listen for prey movements while still flying.
		Owls use their enormous sharp talons (claws) to catch and carry off their prey, devouring them whole or shredding them to smaller bits.

	Asio flammeus
		However, it isn't safe to assume that a day-flying owl, even over moorland, is sure to be a Short-eared.
		To eliminate the possibility of it being a Long-eared you must look for either: a pale belly contrasting with a streaked head and chest, a white trailing edge to the wing, neater, more distinct barring on the uppertail, upperwing and under the wing tip and the yellow, rather than orange, eyes.
		Also, the colour of a Short-eared Owl varies from under-cooked biscuit-brown to overcooked biscuit-brown and never shows the warm rufous tones of a Long-eared.
