Title: Tawny Time!
Post by: bangbang on August 29, 2012, 09:34:46 pm: Over the last few night's the Tawny Owl's have really started their business.
We are surrounded by many small wooded areas and it is just great to hear them
call at this time of night to each other. Our own small wood harbours one that
starts calling as soon as the lights are out. What a great way to fall asleep!
listening to nature, at it's best......Wonderful! ;D

The peafowl don't seem too impressed with their new neighbours though!
