Owl our bookshop neighbours making some noise after hours last night as we moved some stock around. #Owls #TawnyOwls #TheCompanyOfOwls

Owl parents as a team – not as “vermin” Barn owl parents care for their young with impressive teamwork. Why do these strictly protected mouse hunters survive despite hunting bans and the influence of the agricultural and hunting lobby?

Documentaries show that predators such as #barnowls, #eagleowls, #tawnyowls, #kestrels, #commonbuzzards, #redkites, #foxes can be secondarily poisoned if they eat poisoned #mice. Long-term monitoring of barn owls reveals widespread contamination with #rodenticides

Here are the Tawny Owls 🦉 calling at dusk in the trees at the back of our house.
I love their calls.

Can you spot the owl? I didn’t!!

It is a mental struggle dragging myself out of bed on a dark, winter morning for my #briskwalk But, there is always something that makes me grateful that I did. Today it was #TawnyOwls calling to each other. I even spotted one flying into a tree.

The home of poet and author of #TheCompanyOfOwls @pollyrowena.bsky.social is surrounded by #TawnyOwls. On BBC Radio 4's #TweetOfTheDay, Polly describes hearing their first call in autumn, echoing around the lake at Grasmere:

Owl alert! You can listen back to my little snippet on #TawnyOwls now. Thanks agains so much to Sophie Anton for asking me to do this and to being so flexible so we could get it recorded easily and accessibly for me, and to Caz Graham for coming to do the recording.

I couldn’t believe how many different groups of #TawnyOwls I heard yesterday afternoon at dusk. They’re in charge now. Tune in to #TweetOfTheDay on radio 4 tomorrow morning and on BBC sounds afterwards to hear me talk about my tawny neighbours and what they mean to me a little. #TheCompanyOfOwls

In #Slovenia for the birds. Hoping to get some #UralOwls #TawnyOwls and ❤️ #PygmyOwls.
#LongEaredOwls will be a bonus.
Wish us luck!! 😊

Merlin App recording of a Tawny Owl hoot with a picture of one underneath. Name to the right of the picture with a red dot after. This indicates that this bird is rare. There are calls here quite often so not rare in West Yorkshire. Such a wonderful sound they make.

Good morning all.
6:20am and the Tawny Owls🦉 are calling outside my window!
Lovely wake up call!

Merlin App has these as rare, hence the red dot 🔴
Plenty here in West Yorkshire.

Very soggy tawny owlet in profile against tree root, with dripping long grass in front of them. They are looking up slightly and look very heroic.

And here's me trying to be dignified and serious whilst recording in my pyjamas. #BeMoreOwlet #Owls #TawnyOwls #NatureWriting #BookSky

As if in response, the tawnys who live directly across the road now (one of 2023's owlets from the book and her partner I think) were really giving it some welly right outside the house just after midnight last night. #Owls #TawnyOwls #AutumnVibes #OwlWitchAutumn #TheCompanyOfOwls

The simple things October 2025 issue laid flat on grass and surrounded by orange yellow and burgundy beech leaves. It has the word HUG on the cover, and a picture of the back of a woman with long hair wearing a flannel jacket and orange beanie, carrying a small orange and white dog that is looking over her shoulder, standing amongst brown bracken. In the list of things included is acorn ink and tawny owls.

Simple Things magazine on grass folded open on magical creatures page with beautiful illustration of tawny owl, autumn beech leaves on page, and Mikle the tabby cat in front of it like he is reading it, the back of his head at front of frame.

Yesterday brought the October issue of The Simple Thing magazine through my letter box, including words on #Owls by me, with a beautiful illustration by Zuza Misko, to mark the paperback release of #TheCompanyOfOwls from @eandtbooks.bsky.social on October 16th. #TawnyOwls #NatureWriting #Booksky

two tawny owlet on mossy tree trunk as though on steps, one higher than the other. Lower one has a clump of moss in their beak.

I've just read the long-eared owl is the most common resident owl in Ireland. I haven't managed to see one in the wild yet. Wouldn't it be amazing to see one here? My talk on #TheCompanyOfOwls @wcorklitfest.bsky.social - mostly #TawnyOwls who live around me - is this Thursday, 10am, Bantry House!

What's that bebe? You made it to the @wainwrightprize for Nature Writing longlist in splendid company?

Did you know that #Tawnyowls can rotate their heads up to 270 degrees! An owls forward-facing eyes cannot move in their sockets, so they must turn their heads instead. This movement helps with finding + catching their prey!

Busy days with Tawny Owl chicks around Glasgow! 🦉

On average, Tawny Owls lay 2-3 eggs and incubation lasts 28-30 days. Chicks will then fledge around 35-38 days old.

More Tawnies on eggs in our nestboxes around Glasgow! 🦉

Tawny Owls are forest owls, but they also occur in urban parks. They nest in tree cavities, but they can also readily use nestboxes for this purpose, especially when tree cavities are not available.

#GlasgowTawnyOwlProject #tawnyowls

It's spring again and Tawny Owls have started breeding in Glasgow! 🦉

The first adult owls of the season have been captured, ringed and tagged with biologgers, aiming to understand how they cope with roads, light & noise pollution in the urban environment.

#GlasgowTawnyOwlProject #tawnyowls

Every night without fail! Sounds like they're in our back garden, it's so loud. If only I got to see them! 🦉
