Found this in the middle of the road on the way home tonight. Think its okay, it flew onto perch in the dog crate so will let it go tomorrow where I found it. Lovely wee thing

Theres plenty owls on Mull right enough Andy, last time I was over parked the car to watch 2 hunting. Was surprised as it was daylight but they were definitely owls. Don't think I need bother trying to feed this one as will let it away tomorrow as I said but did the one you got eat without any trouble?

Take a wee bit more than lifting a wee bird of the road to make up for some my sins Steve

Well done Ally, It's a Tawny owl, the one's you saw hunting in the day would be Short-eared owls, they are diurnal.

it merely picked at the chicken , didnt really eat as such , which is why we sought out a rescue centre . this may have been due to shock and the injury , it was a youngster with a broken wing .

Heres a pic of some baby barn owls. When I was at my grans house in Arran during the summer we heard some strnge hissing coming from the roof of the old byre. Couldn't figure out what it was, thought maybe a cat or something. Pushed the mobile phone up on a stick and toock a picture. Got a cracking surprise to see these wee things. We spent the fortnight watching the parent flying in and out feeding them
