Tawny Time!
« 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

I love hearing the owls.  We have some near us.  Like to walk the dogs at dusk sometimes just so we can hear them.

I love to hear the youngsters calling, sounds as though they are underwater :)

we were lucky to have these pair with us this year, spent many an hour quietly watching them and their parents hunting  :excited:  Picture isn't the best quality...sorry
dont see as much recently....hopefully they'll entertain someone next year

Yes, we fell asleep listening to them last night too.  Love it!

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