              :love30::wow: They are just exquisite ...

              Here is the pic of the one Owl I 'captured on camera' in my bathroom sink after one of my 'babes' brought it into the house ...

              Owl.jpg

              He was safely released back into the orchards ...

                They're great pics FC. Owls that adopt easily to being Chameleons. :)

                          Absolutely amazing - are the first two photos really Owls ? Cunning little devils ain't they ! We held some baby Owls at a sanctuary in Llandudno a couple of years ago , cant remember the type. They are an incredible creature - never been lucky enough to see one in the wild.

                          We are fortunate to have the Little Owl (as pictured above) living all about us in the orchards and groves. We have seen them sitting on fence posts and even in the road! Tiny little things but boy do they make a noise in the wee hours ... they are referred to as screech owls here (but they are not technically such) as that's what they do ...
