The nighttime wildlife experience from my flat continues to be rewarding.
At 5:45 a.m. on 15th August 2024, I was woken up by the excitable barking, screaming and "geckering" of at least 2 Red Foxes which were clearly interacting although I failed to see them.
On 18th August 2024, after an apparent absence since 5th August 2024, I again heard a male Tawny Owl "hooting" several times in a 10 minute period from 10:25 p.m.
I have now recorded Tawny Owls on 6 dates since their return to the immediate vicinity of my flat after many years ....
28th/29th July 2024 .... male "hooting" briefly at 9:45 p.m. followed by a few minutes of a female calling; male "hooting briefly again at 2 a.m. followed by a female calling for at least 10 minutes; female calling regularly for around 5 minutes from 3:05 a.m. (first record of Tawny Owl for many years)
30th July 2024 .... male "hooting" regularly for around 10 minutes from 3:45 a.m.
31st July 2024 .... male "hooting" briefly at 11:40 p.m.
1st August 2024 .... female calling briefly at 9:20 p.m.
5th August 2024 .... male "hooting" briefly at 11:55 p.m. followed immediately by a female calling
18th August 2024 .... male "hooting" several times in a 10 minute period from 10:25 p.m.
