Owls about that.....

This evenings 'task' was to try and catch a Little Owl. Little Owls were very common in wales some years ago, but are now only hanging on in a few small pockets around the country. Fortunately Tony knew of a pair that were on the welsh coast, so off we set to see if they were still around. We arrived at some old farm buildings (a classic place for Little Owls), we the set up the net, and waited (and waited). Nothing was happening, Tony reckoned we were too close to the net, so we disapeared out of site for a few minutes, went back to check the net. Not one but two Little Owls trapped in the net, what a result!!





This one had found somthing tastie on Tony's and, probably a bit of left over Mac Donalds!!!
