Owl lovers exchange t-wit,t-woo over garden fence

British bird lover Neil Symmons was ecstatic when for 12 months
the tawny owl calls he made from his garden at dusk attracted
answers from the wild. Sadly, his imagined feathered friend
turned out to be human and living next door.

Symmons's wife Kim had mentioned her husband's nocturnal pastime
to neighbor Wendy Cornes who said her husband Fred was also
spending his evenings talking to an owl.

"I felt such a twit," Neil Symmons told the Daily Mail newspaper
from his home in southwestern England. "I never dreamed I was
fooling my neighbor, who was fooling me," said Fred Cornes.
