  3. I love these camera trap shots. They appear so mysterious and wildlife at night otherwise is so impossible to capture. Thanks for sharing such unique shots, Mark! Posted 13 years ago

The Tawny Owl or Brown Owl is a stocky, medium-sized owl commonly found in woodlands across much of Eurasia. Its underparts are pale with dark streaks, and the upperparts are either brown or grey. The nest is typically in a tree hole where it can protect its eggs and young against potential predators. This owl is non-migratory and highly territorial. Many young birds starve if they cannot find a vacant territory once parental care ceases.
