Eagle Owl

[yeboah]

Report with picture in our local paper today of eagle owl handed into wildlife hospital having

been picked up on open ground by a shooting party east of lockerbie,apparently with no injuries just malnourished being looked after prior to finding new home .seems perhaps they are not as

good at looking after themselves as we are led to believe

Sounds like a released bird, if it had been feeding its self up 'till now, or could be its got a peregrine bone stuck in its throat

Their main prey is mammals, not birds. Surprised its not nailed a rabbit or two?

I.B. They are territorial and won't stand for compition regards B.O.P. in their territory. They clesn them up.... whether they eat them all or not I don't know, but have seen them with their B.O.P. along aside of them not moving like lol.

So why are the RSPB so frightened of having them in this country? Or maybe it's Rolands explanation???
