==British Introduction==

The article states "was first introduced in 1842 by [[Thomas Powys, 4th Baron Lilford|Thomas Powys]]". As this blogger [https://iago80.wordpress.com/2014/08/16/a-big-birding-year-part-xviii-introducing-another-owl/] points out, Powys (b1833) would only have been 9 years old at the time. In a quick search on Google books most mention "late 19th century". But, as that blog mentions, Yarrell’s ‘A History of British Birds’ (1843) mentions a few records before then. <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/217.207.145.188|217.207.145.188]] ([[User talk:217.207.145.188|talk]]) 15:49, 27 January 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
