Acerca de
El búho campestre (unos 350 g) es uno de los búhos más ampliamente distribuidos del mundo, presente en todos los continentes excepto Australia y la Antártida. A diferencia de la mayoría de los búhos, caza activamente durante el día, especialmente al amanecer y al atardecer, sobrevolando praderas y marismas a baja altura en busca de topillos y otros pequeños mamíferos. Sus 'orejas' son pequeñas y poco visibles. Las poblaciones son nómadas, siguiendo las fluctuaciones de las presas.
