The noble Blue Tit once ranged from Iran through Turkey and Europe to the Canary Islands (the Spanish Islands off North Africa – the other bird was named for the islands incidentally) and North Africa. The Barn Owl was a cosmopolitan species, so as it is split the name has to be shared (American, western and eastern).
