Little Owl
Unbeknownst to us Los Gázquez had a little visitor the other night, and come the morning we were surprised to hear a tapping on the glass door from within the wood burner. In all the soot inside we could only see a pair of bright yellow eyes, a little owl.
Experience has taught me, whilst briefly working for The Barn Owl Trust weighing chicks, that small or not owls have fearsome talons that grip tightly. So I donned a pair of tough gloves and initiated a rescue.
This achieved with the minimum of fuss, and after a close inspection by the children he was released back into the wild. A bright, white snowy wild for a sooty little owl.
