The long-eared owl only breeds when it is a good mouse year. As a habitat, the long-eared owl needs above all open terrain with low plant growth. In Central Europe, it is therefore a bird of open cultural landscape. It is found mainly in areas with a high proportion of permanent green areas and near bogs. It occurs even in high mountains, provided there is enough prey. Forests provide the long-eared owl with sufficient habitat only when there is enough space for hunting. In contrast, the long-eared owl uses the forest edge as a resting place during the day and as a breeding ground. She prefers coniferous trees, which offer sufficient cover and in which are old nests of crows and magpies. Where such forest edges are missing, it also deviates into smaller groups of trees or hedges. The long-eared owl also populates peripheral areas of cities, especially if they border on agricultural areas.
