Title: Owl
Post by: tunnie on 30 October 2011, 20:29:41

Mother T spotted they had an Owl nesting in the front garden, got the SLR out to get some decent snaps.

Beautiful creature!

theres a couple that live in the tree oposite my house, last xmas in the snow there was a little funky white one on the outside light for 2 days so i left it on to keep him warm lol

I also think the massive banging i hear on the roof is a owl killing stuff.
