the owl man
You really couldn't make this one up!
Yesterday, whilst having lunch at the house of an old-friend, there was a knock at the front-door. Exactly how do you react when you discover a white-bearded man outside dressed in authentic Elizabethan costume and holding what looks to be a turbo-charged TV aerial?!!
To cut a long story short he was the falconer at a local Shakespearean heritage site and his barn-owl had been attacked by a clattering of jackdaws. The poor bird, who we subsequently learned was called 'Arwen' after a character in Lord of the Rings, had taken flight in panic. She was now hidden somewhere in my friend's garden.
Fortunately, barn owl and falconer were successfully re-united, as can be seen from the photo above.
