Whooo Am I?
The early bird catches the worm,
That’s what some people say.
But I prefer to stay asleep
‘til later in the day.
I often wake at sundown,
when voles and wood mice prowl.
I'm what's known as nocturnal -
I am a tawny owl!
That’s what some people say.
But I prefer to stay asleep
‘til later in the day.
I often wake at sundown,
when voles and wood mice prowl.
I'm what's known as nocturnal -
I am a tawny owl!
