I heve previously written on this blog about how much I like to hear the Owls at night. The soothing ‘Towit-Towoo’ as they call to each other, and even the occasional scream of a Screech-Owl that might disturb my sleep.
For a long time now, I haven’t heard them. I thought that we had ‘lost’ out local Owls, and I missed my nocturnal delight.
Then I stayed up late last night, watching something that interested me on TV. I didn’t go to bed until 01:15, very late for me these days.
As I settled down to sleep, I heard a ‘Towit’, followed quickly by a ‘Towoo’. Then more joined in, until it was a veritable chorus of calling Owls.
That pleased me a great deal, It really did.
