of the identity? The owl had a white face with a brownish mask around eyes and beak.It had yellow eyes and was diurnal as it seemed to do a lot of flying in daylight. in flight its wings were white underneath and brown on top, It also had a brown and black horizontally striped tail.I have some good pics but dont seem to be able to post here. Can anyone help identify this breed of owl. I should mention we were about 50 miles east of bahrain when it landed on board and stayed for a few days
