Morning Starters: Spring 1 - Birds of Prey
Did You Know?
Have you ever heard an owl hooting at night? Owls are nighttime hunters that use their big eyes to see in the dark and flat faces to pick up the tiniest sounds. They fly silently, gliding through the night to catch food without being noticed. Barn owls, tawny owls and short-eared owls can all be found in the UK, hiding in trees or sweeping low over fields.
