Munich is ideal for watching tawny owls because of its large park areas with lots of old trees. But where? And when? <\/p>\n\n

\"Tawny\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>

Tawny owls have the wonderful habit of living in their burrows for many years. Once a suitable shelter has been found, it is not abandoned so quickly unless circumstances change - for example, if the roof leaks - or another owl enters the territory. <\/p>\n\n

The old beech and oak trees in Munich's parks provide ideal conditions for owls - for example in the English Garden or Nymphenburg Palace Park. The latter is always worth a visit because of the large population of geese, the goosander breeding there and the scenery. <\/p>\n\n

The most famous owl lives opposite Badenburg Castle, where a small bridge crosses the canal to the east of the castle. If you stand where all the grass is trampled and look north-east, you can watch Casimir - as he is called - on sunny days in the afternoon or on cloudy days often all day long. <\/p>\n\n

Tawny owls can be observed in Munich all year round, although it is of course most difficult to spot the rather small birds through the canopy in summer.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
