Hi everyone
I wonder if you can help. I am lucky enough to have a tawny owl nesting in my owl box and my neighbour was saying that he has put up screech owl boxes. I am not familiar with screech owls and having looked on the RSPB site they only list Barn, Little, Long Eared and Tawny. Does anyone have any info on screech owls and if they are resident in the UK? My neighbour says they like decaying branches of trees which have hollowed out to nest in.
Thanks a lot
That’s ok. Do you mean The part at the end from 9 minutes 10 seconds until 16 minutes 3 seconds?
Like you said it sounds like a Dove call but it isn’t. Since it sounds like 2 of them calling and sounds like dove call but isn’t one exspeacially since there are other Tawny Owls calling aswell the one at the end would most likely be 2 other Tawny Owls calling to each other this is another one of the calls they make aswell. You dont allways hear the wit and woo call. Sometimes they also do one call and the other will do a faint one after: This is another type of call they make and Iv heard the same type of call as in your recording and used to think it sounded like a Dove aswell but didn’t quiet cut it as one. And I would also hear it in the evening aswell.
Are you in the uk or are you in a differant contry? cause I know that weather your in the uk or not or what part of the uk if you are in the uk might help aswell
