The words chosen will be the generally accepted term, but as in all languages there are regional variations, as well as sub-species variations. For example, an owl is generally known as a hoolet in Scots, but an ool in Shetland & the NE. A barn owl is a white hoolet & a long eared owl, a hornnie hoolet.

      I think the tortoiseshell’s are really cuteI think the one in the pic was using the mirror to get the warmth of the sun on both sides.

Great to hear your thoughts!
