One winged tawny owl
As promised, som pictures of rescued birds of prey.
Tawny owls are my absolute favourite. I love their squat, scruffy way of perching and those big dark eyes. This one is missing its left wing, after it was found caught up on a barbed wire fence and simultaneously being attacked by a dog. It wasn't xpected to survive. After three days of care what was left of the wing dropped off, but here is the owl, four years later, looking very healthy indeed.
I first met the chap who looks after these birds when he came to show his barn owl to the children's wildlife group that I help at. He does it just for the love of it, and is teaching his young son too.
