Default Owl
I took this shot back in Spetember while I was at a county fair in Wales. This owl had been saved and was "spokes-owl" for a refuge. It was amazing to see how he swivelled his head almost 360 degrees. I have never been so close to an owl before, and he was HUGE!

This shot of my favourite subject is so cool. He is a majestic fellow, and makes an excellent spokes-owl. I bet he can be a real hoot. God bless. PAUL

They were really the most fascinating thing about him. I had never seen such intense eyes before!
