A Study in Nature - Tawny Owl<br />
Pictures by Scott Latham<br />
The tawny or brown owl - Strix aluco - is a thick set, medium-sized owl found in woodlands across much of<br />
Europe and Asia. Its under parts are pale white or off white with dark streaks, and the upperparts can be<br />
brown or grey.<br />
The nest is usually in a tree hole where it can protect its eggs and young. This owl is non-migratory and<br />
highly territorial. Many young birds starve if they cannot find a vacant territory once parental care ceases.<br />
This nocturnal bird of prey hunts mainly rodents, usually by dropping from a perch to seize its prey, which<br />
it swallows whole vision and hearing adaptations and silent flight aid its night hunting.<br />
