There are two tawny owlets calling in the wood. They start up each night about half an hour before sunset with a ‘feed me’ call which continues for an hour or so until one of the adults swoops across from a neighbouring area of mature woodland, then all goes silent. The owlets call from deep within branches and I don’t want to disturb them too much so I have not had a good view- just a flash of light brown wings.
It is amazing to think that at the beginning of this project there was just a horse grazed field, and now there is a diverse environment which can support owlets!
