My night time wildlife experience of recent weeks continues.
On 2nd September 2024 at 8:35 p.m., I had another visit from at least 2 Red Foxes to the area in the near vicinity to my flat. Whilst I heard their excitable vocalisation, I failed to see them. At least this time, they turned up at a more reasonable time rather than waking me up in the middle of the night!
After my last record on 25th August 2024, I again heard a male Tawny Owl "hooting" briefly on 3rd September 2024 at 11:30 p.m.
I have now recorded Tawny Owls on 8 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.
3rd September 2024 .... male "hooting" briefly at 11:30 p.m.
