This video from Finland says about itself:
Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa) flies towards the camera and eats a mouse
This wild, but tame Great Grey Owl is still actively “hunting” out in the open and is enjoying herself posing to the cameras near Oulu, Finland. See a new set of Harri Taavetti’s images here. In this video she flies to catch a mouse and eats it directly in front of camera and flies away.
After the rare northern hawk-owl in Zwolle, the Netherlands, another owl species which does not come often to western Europe.
Today, in Ede in the Dutch Gelderland province, a great grey owl.
Here is a photo of the Ede owl.

Indeed! This is one of the biggest owl species in the world, a lot bigger than the northern hawk-owl.

I will see if I can find a size comparison with the giant eagle owl and the Pel’s fishing owl… I have been fortunate to see both of those in their natural habitat and they are spectacular!

I think great grey owls weigh less than these two species, but are about equal in centimeter size.
