A few weeks ago I spotted this tawny owl in a tree in a garden across the road from our house. I couldn't miss it really, because it was being harassed by a raucous flock of about thirty jackdaws and crows, plus two very in-your-face magpies.
The unperturbed owl gave an absolutely perfect masterclass in how to deal with abusers, completely ignoring them. None were brave enough to come within reach of its talons, and after about ten minutes they had all lost interest, and left it in peace.
The owl is still around, and recently I heard it hooting at dawn in our back garden.
