While working in my study, my ears are always pitched to listen for birds calling outside. A little while ago I heard a Barn Owl screeching - they are regular "customers" and I've found some of their pellets outside. Spotted Eagle Owls are regular visitors too. I'm planning on putting up an owl box in a large oak tree in the corner of our garden, to see if they don't want to set up permanent residence in the garden.
Earlier tonight I heard Crowned Lapwings as well as Spotted Thickknee calling - it is a bright moonlit night. Sometimes the odd Cape Turtle Dove calls in the middle of the night and I've just heard the first Cape Robin Chat of the morning.
