Hmmm.   By `live' I assume you mean breed on a regular basis.

Try...

Long-eared Owl            Asio otus
Short-eared Owl           Asio flammeus
Tawny Owl                 Strix aluco
Barn Owl                  Tyto alba

though

Snowy Owl                 Nyctea scandiaca

is a sometimes winter visitor...
