We’ve settled in on the farm in SW Spain and it didn’t take long for the local Eurasian Eagle-Owl to welcome us with its “devil’s cackle” call. This morning about 3:20 AM it was sounding off in the eucalyptus tree next to the house. It’s LOUD and weird-sounding.
A good example can be heard on https://xeno-canto.org/species/Bubo-bubo
Check out the call recorded by Cedric Mroczko - it’s about the 10th entry in the list.
The Tawny Owls have started becoming vocal as well, often calling from the rooftop. The first Little Owl nest box checked today has been successful, if the pellets are any indication.
