    .....when I went into the large greenhouse at work this morning.
    DSC08187 owl.JPG

    We occasionally find smaller birds, such as wrens, blackbirds and so on, they get trapped in the greenhouse when the automatic vents close in the evening.
    Never had an owl before though, I wonder why it went in there?

        What a beautiful face. That stare is so penetrating.
        Did it manage to get away without stress Trunky?

          It got away fine Jenny. I opened up the vents and it flew away unharmed. :dbgrtmb:
          Completely agree with you about that stare too.

            Don't think I got too stressed about it Armandii, although come to think of it, I did let out a little 'owl at the end. :biggrin:
