Owls (Strigidae)

It is not every day you have such good views of an owl! Hearing an unfamiliar call in a woodland, I went to investigate and eventually tracked it down to this Tawny Owl alarm calling at something on the ground. As Tawny Owls are known for being quite aggressive during the breeding season, I did not want to get much closer than this and so the source of the alarm will remain a mystery.
