Tawny Owl calls

Two different series of calls are available for download. The first of these (CALLS ONE) highlights the main territorial call of the male (the 'hooting' call), with some soft kee-wicks in the background. The second (CALLS TWO) highlights the kee-wick calls.

Both sets of calls have been very kindly provided by Geoff Sample. Geoff is the sound recordist behind a whole series of excellent CDs illustrating bird song and produced by Collins.

The calls are provided in three common formats and you should find that you have a package on your computer that can play at least one of the different formats. You will see that the WAV format results in a very large file and we have not added the WAV version of the longer CALLS Two for this reason. Real Audio Player (used to play Real Audio files) can be downloaded from the web - see here for more details.
