I'd heard them calling for a couple of nights before last night
It was so loud and near - at first I thought it was was some people messing about but there didn't seem to be anyone else - no laughter or banter.
So this owl must have been on our hedge for a short while
I got up to look but didn't see anything. I did check the tawny owl call on the British Garden Birds site and it was the same sound

It will have been really disappointed you didn't return the call

Placi, this time of year I always hear one/a couple up in the horse chestnut tree just outside the garden. Maybe it spotted a few snacks leaping around in the garden
wouldn't that be a sight to see when looking out for Foxy
Mmm - not really sure how much swooping room they need though

That's brilliant to be able to set your calendar by the guaranteed toowitting of a owl. Keep looking

Was in a rural area I don't normally frequent toady and there was a barn owl on a fence post. Facing away from the road and into a field.
Can'r recall when I saw one last
