Long-eared owl scolds Short-eared owl:

“Shush!”

Short-eared owl warns:

“I’m not only short-eared.  I’m short-tempered.”

Tawny owl murmurs: “How cute am I …”

Barn owl whispers: “I’m so shy, I won’t let anyone take my picture.”

Tawny owl wails: “I’ve been framed!”

Owling heard on Monday 27th November during the exhibition of Peter Barrett’s new paintings in Hemyock.  Thanks to Dean, Sally, Olivia and Rufus.
