Description
This stunning Tawny Owl sculpture by Karen Fawcett brings the beauty of the British countryside indoors. Handmade from high fired ceramics and crafted at life size scale, each piece is unique, with slight differences in shape and colour. Every sculpture is full of character, making it a special and eye-catching work of art that celebrates the charm of nature.
The sculpture depicts a Strix aluco, commonly known as a Tawny Owl. Broad-leaved and mixed woodland, the Tawny Owl may also occupy conifer plantations, large urban parks and even suburban gardens. It’s the size of a pigeon. It has a rounded body and head, with a ring of dark feathers around its face surrounding the dark eyes. It is mainly reddish brown above and paler underneath. It is a widespread breeding species in England, Wales and Scotland but not found in Ireland. Birds are mainly residents with established pairs probably never leaving their territories. Young birds disperse from breeding grounds in autumn.
