We have just heard a tawney owl outside, and when Paul checked with his night-vision goggles he could see it sitting in the tree beside the house. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a photograph of it, but it was lovely to hear its spooky call and see it sitting in the tree.
There was a tawney owl here when we moved into our house 5 years ago, but we haven't heard it for a couple of years. Hopefully it is back to stay, though paws crossed that goldfinch isn't on the menu - what with the sparrowhawk and tawney owl, our charm of goldfinches will be sadly depleted!
It's nice to see you mr owl, but please leave our goldfinches alone! Eat a wood pigeon instead - it's much bigger and easier to catch.
