I think we have owls locally.
I heard an owl-like sound on two consecutive nights walking from station to home.
Autumnwatch owl noises tonight no help - it was a compendium of noises owls make when they are not trying to sound like owls.

I read about bird shazam not being ready yet

Can any forumites toowittoowoo in phonetic text for me please?

How do owls sound to a non-expert?
thanks

I assume you know the 'tawittawoo' sound is both birds - the female calling and then the male.

The female's noise is like a harsh squeeky keee wik and his is a flute-like whooo, tailing off a bit in pitch at the end.

To my ears they sound like unrelated birds, the female noise is like a hawk's (probably doesn't help) the males lower register and more full and round sounding.

I've got 2 in the wood on our land, the buggers start their noises at nearly bang on 11pm every night.

We had some strange noises about a week ago in the middle of the night.  I was told to go downstairs and see if the dog was OK, but I reckon it was owls.
