Tawny Owl Tantrum

 This is a tawny owl feather.

I found it on a walk today - here is the whole story. 

While we were walking through a wood we heard a lot of screeching and and squawking. I looked up and saw some blackbirds and jays flying around. I stopped and waited as the squawking went on. Then a bigger shape with a round head flew from the tree. It was a tawny owl. I looked around but couldn’t see. Much further down the path I noticed a feather. It must have been from the tawny owl from earlier. Another way I could tell it was a tawny owl was by the tiny grooves running down the edge of the feather, allowing silent flight.

That’s all for now. Thanks for reading!
