Hidden away in woodland during spring are weird looking aliens that surreptitiously watch our movements...
That classic 'twit twoo' is two owls not one. The female gives a sharp 'kewick' and the male answers with a wavering hoot. A single tawny owl never says the whole phrase.

In July, @puzzlewild.bsky.social and I went to the Pine Marten/Tawny Owl hide at Scottish Photography Hides. We rented. At the end of the night, we saw tawny owls. Three young ones, and one adult keeping watch.
The hides are great. We’ll definitely go back!

Rob's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #BestOFTheMonth. I had a brilliant trip to Singapore and Sydney this month.
Plus I got to have the best view of a Tawny Owl near my house.

I've lived near these woods for over 10 years. I've heard a Tawny Owl call for years. Today for the first time I saw one out in the open.
Had to rush back to the house to get my camera.
Such a magical moment. Best view I have ever had of a #TawnyOwl
