These owls are used to people in a park in Munich and there are several known trees with Tawny Owls resting in them.
The species comes in a grey and a reddish-brown (like this one) color morph. They are the most common owl in many parts of Europe. They feed mostly on voles but can switch to birds which means they are not hit that hard by a drop in vole numbers as other species like the Barn Owl or Long-eared Owl. They weigh about 500-600g and sometimes prey on smaller owl species like the Boreal Owl but are also also killed by larger species like the Ural Owl (a close evolutionary relative but bigger) and the huge Eurasian Eagle Owl. I cropped to square as this was a better fit for the owl and the stuff on the left and right didn't add anything useful to the image.
