This photo of an owl was in Guardian Daily Photograph thread on May 1st. It says the picture was taken in Kent, UK.
May Day protests, a Green Man and a volcano: Monday’s best photos
The bird looks to me a Great Horned Owl, an American species. I wrote to Guardian editor and according to photographer (not a birder) it was taken in Kent and it's a wild bird, not taken in a zoo.
Am I wrong or is there a wild Great Horned Owl in Kent?
