tawny owls
Brown woodland raptors
Tawny owls are medium-sized woodland owls native to Europe and parts of Asia, known for their reddish-brown plumage and distinctive hooting call.
The tu-whit tu-whoo of folklore is actually a duet between male and female tawny owls.
They hunt small mammals and birds at night, relying on exceptional hearing and silent flight.
