Tawny Owl Call & Sound - The sounds of a Tawny Owl calling at night in a forest

Tawny Owl call and sounds at night in a forest.The iconic sound of the Tawny Owl is one of the most familiar owl calls in the UK & Europe. Tawny Owls are a nocturnal species and their calls are most frequently heard at night, although they can occasionally be heard during their day calling from their roosts.

In this sample you can hear the typical hooting sounds reverberating in a forest in southern Spain. The Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) call in this audio was recorded in the Parque Nacional Sierra de las Nieves in Andalucia. In Spanish this species is known as el Cárabo Común.

The Tawny Owl (Strix aluco) is a medium-sized owl species common throughout the United Kingdom & much of Europe. Their typical 'hooting' call consists of a quavering first note 'twoo', followed by a pause then a tremolo second note which falls in pitch - these 'hoot' calls are usually made by the male. Female Tawny Owls make often make a sharp "kee-wick" sound. Male & female Tawny Owls make these calls in duet, creating the iconic “twit twoo” sound which many people know this species for.
