Tawny owls breeding?
Wow! I've just been out in the back field again. I took the scope for a look (from a distance) at the tawny owl that I saw this morning....and guess what?! A Pair!!! Sitting just a couple of metres apart. They must be using my nest box. I only put the box up in February. The neighbouring field also has an owl box but I've watched it for years and it seems unused. Hopefully we'll have little fluffy owlets soon.
