Tawny Owl Facts

The tawny owl is an owl the size of a pigeon. It has a rounded body and head with a ring of dark feathers around its face surrounding the dark eyes. It is mainly reddish brown above and paler underneath. It is a widespread breeding species in England, Wales and Scotland but not found in Ireland. Birds are mainly residents with established pairs probably never leaving their territories. Young birds disperse from breeding grounds in autumn.


The tawny owl can be seen all year round, it is nocturnal so its often heard calling at night. In the daytime, you may see one only if you disturb it inadvertently from its roost site in woodland up against a tree trunk or among ivy. Look for pellets below roosting places.

The tawny owl diet consists of small mammals and rodents, small birds, frogs, fish, insects and worms.
