close encounter...

...of the avian kind!

I decided to get out for a breath of fresh air today at lunchtime and I had an unexpected surprise...

You will have to excuse the quality of the photos, I only got hard copies and the scanner wasn't working so had to take a picture of the photos to show you!

Little owl...teeny tiny but actually 10 years old!!!

Barn Owl
Eagle Owl - 7 pounds - my arm was a little uncomfortable after a while!
 The most amazing creatures - I was very chuffed :-)

There was also an little African Scops Owl - he had a little moustache which bizzarrely made him look Scottish! Also a little noisy Sparrow Hawk.  Poor Little Sparrow Hawk was very young however and looked a little unsettled so I decided not to hold him and make him unhappy.
