Records from my flat - Tawny Owl and Red Foxes

The night time wildlife experience from my flat continues to be rewarding.

On 25th August 2024, I again heard a male Tawny Owl "hooting" just twice at 3:20 a.m.

I have now recorded Tawny Owls on 7 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.

25th August 2024 .... male "hooting" twice at 3:20 a.m.

At 5:05 a.m., I was again woken up by the excitable barking, screaming and "geckering" of 3 Red Foxes which I easily managed to see since they were in the street right outside my block of flats.
