Wild Wednesday - Tawny Owl
Tawny owls are the familiar brown owls of Britain’s woodlands, parks and gardens. They are our biggest common owl, familiar in Britain’s woodland, parks and gardens. The ‘too-wit too-woo’ call often referred to as being the song of the generic owl, is that of the tawny owl. But it isn’t the call of a single bird, but instead made by a male and female calling to each other. The female makes a ‘too-wit’ sound and the male answers with ‘too-woo’!
These incredible creatures sit on their favourite perch on the lookout for small animals like voles and mice to eat. They nest during springtime in hollow trees, or sometimes choose to reuse an old crow’s nest.
