Tawny Owls (Strix aluco) and the sunken forests of the North Sea

Jeff R. Martin & Heimo Mikkola

During the Mesolithic period, Britain was part of Europe through the existence of a substantial land bridge, which we know as Doggerland. This may explain the wide array of Tawny Owl plumage colourations and physical differences we have found in the museums whose counties border the North Sea i.e. Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. In this paper we anticipate that the genetic composition of Tawny Owls in Britain is more complicated than is presently known. Further phylogenetic and vocalisation research is required on this subject.
