It happened a few nights ago, just when I was in bed, trying to sleep. I heard a hoot, I think it was a hoot anyway. I heard it before, back in 2016, but I am not sure I heard an owl in the neighbourhood ever since. Or at least I don't remember. I got up and looked at the window, to check if I could see the owl in question. We have a few trees behind our house, I suspected it might be hanging nearby Not a trace, but obviously it was dark. I will be on the lookout for owls in the neighbourhood from now on, will eep my eyes and ears open. Owls are cool, so I'm glad we have one nearby.

The cry of an owl

Wonderful!
Might be a tawny owl as they are quite common here. We used to get tham at around 3 am at one place we lived in for a time. And it also depends if you are superstitious as to whether or not your happy to hear an owl at night. You know the folklore about seeing or hearing an owl outside your window being a portent of death. You have to wonder where that stuff comes from.
