Looks as though one is lost.  Facebook post from Cortijo Buho

URGENTE.
¿Alguien ha perdido una lechuza? Uno acaba de volar sobre nosotros desde la dirección del pueblo hasta el molino (Paraje de la Mosqueta).
Estas aves no son nativas del sur de España, por lo que pertenecen a alguien. Si no se captura en un par de días, morirá, las aves cautivas no tienen instinto de caza. Si conoces a alguien que tiene aves rapaces, llámalo y pregúntale si ha perdido esta lechuza.
