Rescue

Is it just us that think a little owl’s face needs its own emoji?

Having been on quite the journey after reportedly falling from a large tree, “Uber” originated from a National Trust site, he then proceeded to visit two vet practices and a pigeon rehabber before, finally, he hopped in an Uber and headed to us.

Rehabilitation

Unable to locate his nest, he was still a little too young to be wandering alone, so he was sent home with one of our fosterer carers, whilst he learnt to eat for himself.

With some concern that he would be a lone owl for longer than we’d like, we began the search to find a friend for him. But the search didn’t need to go to far, as just a few days later another little owl arrived in care, with sadly, again no obvious location of his nest.

But über now had a friend and the duo have continued their development, going from strength to strength.

Release

The Little Owl pair, were successfully released into a 36 acre meadow woodland, on August 30th!
