You can't post audio or video files (or even pictures) directly onto this website. You have to upload the files to a suitable hosting site (such as Youtube) and then post a link here. (If you post a Youtube link the file will then be embedded into your post).

Alternatively you can listen to the calls of British owls by going here

scrolling down to 'Strigiformes' in the left hand panel and clicking on each species in turn.

If it is going toowhit toowhoo or hooooooo it is a tawny owl. A screechy sound is a barn owl. I hear the tawny owl here in Leicester.

Can't believe I am going to type this but as I have had no luck uploading the clip it goes: woooooooo then there is a 2 second pause then it continues with wa wa wa wooooo bother sections sound quite eerie and mournful. Is this a tawny as suggested?
