| | | Bird ID help needed !
Hi all, I'm hoping that you can help.
I have recently heard a bird call around 10pm, when it was almost completely dark. It is very familiar but I just can't place it !
Sounds like too-it too-it. I live on the edge of a midlands town close to fields , coppices and the river Severn. |

Sounds like it might be a Tawny Owl |

Welcome to WAB.
Got to agree it does sound like Tawny Owl. The male and female have different calls. The classic t-wit t-whoo call associated with Tawnys is actually two birds calling with the female normally answering the males call. You may have heard just the male.

Could also be Little Owl, they have a varied repertoire of calls.

We certainly have 1 tawny owl, which makes the 'who who' noise. This is more of a high pitched cry or shriek, could it be the counterpark responding ? |

Could be, the response call is usually more of a 'kee-wick' than a 'too-whit'.
