Tawny Owl
The Tawny Owl is an owl about the size of a pigeon. It has a rounded body and head with a ring of dark feathers around its face surrounding the dark eyes. It is mainly reddish brown above and paler underneath.
The Tawny Owl can be found all year round in the UK and it is a widespread breeding species. Birds are mainly residents with established pairs probably never leaving their territories. Young birds disperse from breeding grounds in autumn.
The Tawny Owl is nocturnal so it is often heard calling at night but much less often seen. In the daytime, you may see one only if you disturb it inadvertently from its roost site in woodland.
