Tawny Owl is widespread throughout Europe and Asia, inhabiting a variety of woodland habitats including deciduous and coniferous forests, parks, and gardens. It prefers areas with dense vegetation and ample roosting sites such as tree hollows.
Tawny Owls are primarily nocturnal, hunting at night for small mammals such as mice, voles, and occasionally small birds. They are known for their distinctive hooting calls, particularly during the breeding season, which is from late winter to early spring. Tawny Owls are solitary birds, although they may form long-term pair bonds during the breeding season. They nest in tree hollows, abandoned nests of other birds, or in man-made nest boxes.
