Screech Owl Sanctuary ~ 6th August 2002





This afternoon we went to the "Screech" Owl Sanctuary. "Screech" being the owners sir name! It was a wonderful visit. We saw owls small as kittens and as big as dogs. Such amazing and fascinating creatures. Very intelligent with a 'knowing' look about them ~ powerful and rather magical!

We were allowed to stroke their breast feathers and every now and then one would try to escape, displaying their long powerful wing span. You could feel the force of their wings on your face. One of the owls reminded me of Toad grumpy face [my cat I left back home in New Zealand] with huge round yellow/orange eyes glaring at me.
