TAWNY OWLS, FEMALES CALLING TO EACH OTHER. by Peter Toll published on 2011-09-13T21:30:03Z This recording was around midnight, it had just stopped raining. I heard them calling in a field near my garden and rushed out with my recording gear. I didn't quite have time to get my levels set right. At one point a female flew right over my head calling, it was so close the recording peaked and is distorted (sorry about that!). I've never heard so many female calls in such a short space of time. I love the natural echo's from the calls bouncing off the houses in the village. The odd distant sounds of cracking branches and rustling are from cows in a wood opposite! Recorded using a Telinga parabolic reflector with stereo dat mic to an Edirol R4 Pro recorder.

I love the way we can clearly hear each call reverberate off the surrounding woodland! 2014-01-21T08:55:43Z Comment by Andrew Perkin Great clear recordings. 2013-08-23T08:27:47Z Comment by Ivo Vicic love it!
