People are being urged to spend time listening out for the 'twit-twoo' of tawny owls to help monitor how the birds are faring.
Tawny owl numbers are thought to have declined over the last few decades and they have recently been added to the 'amber' list of birds of conservation concern.
The British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) is concerned that the species may be vanishing from towns and cities.

But the birds are difficult to monitor as they are nocturnal, so the trust is running a tawny owl calling survey to monitor their presence through the sound of their calls.
Members of the public are being encouraged to spend 20 minutes on one evening a week listening out in parks, gardens and woods for the distinctive 'hoot' calls of the males and the 'kee-wick' of the females.
Together the two owls calling in harmony make the kewick-whoo or twit-twoo sound for which the tawny is known.
Even if people do not hear an owl, the researchers say that is still important information, as it indicates where the species is missing.
Claire Boothby, tawny owl calling survey organiser at the BTO, said, 'Getting involved couldn't be simpler – just wrap up warm and give yourself 20 minutes to listen for the haunting calls of tawny owls between now and the end of March.
'You can listen from your garden, local wood or park, or even from the comfort of the sofa with your window open, and tell us whether or not you hear an owl.
'Don't worry if you don't hear one in your 20 minutes – that record is just as valuable and you'll become one of our 'zero heroes'.'
Nearly 6,000 volunteers have already reported what they have heard as part of the survey but the BTO would like at least 10,000 people across the UK to take part in the 'citizen science' research.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
