As evening gathers the hoot and screech from a pair of tawny owls from a nearby tree is for many a sign that winter is upon us, the year turning once again. These silent hunters, more often heard than seen, bring a little bit of mystery to the countryside, a sense of the wild-wood even in our suburban gardens where tawny owls are very much at home. In this extended version of Tweet of the Day, we hear from Mike Toms of the British Trust for Ornithology, Sir David Attenborough, and author of a book on owls, Miriam Darlington.
