In Europe, Ural owls inhabit two areas. In the south there’s the Dinaric-Carpathian population, and in the north, the Fennoscandian population. However, these birds are also distributed over a large part of northern Asia, all the way to Japan. The Ural owl is extremely protective and thus very aggressive during the nesting season. It fiercely attacks any intruder trying to reach its chicks. It is not afraid of wild cats or martens, or even much larger intruders like bears or humans. The film Fearless Queen of the night, which takes place over a period of just over a year, provides the viewer with an exceptional insight into the lives of several Ural owl specimens. It intertwines and relates to human factors that, in one way or another, influence or coincide with the animal stories.
