"These owls are only six inches tall, and so lovely. He wasn’t bothered about me getting close to him, so I was a little concerned that he could be injured. He was very obliging and stepped onto my finger, so I could look at him over. Then he flew away. What a relief, no injuries or broken wings, just an amazing experience!”

To have an owl calmly step on your finger is wonderful. What a great nature moment!

Thanks to Beverley for allowing me to share her photo with you here.
