the owl hoots twice at catfish bend....


....is the title of a favourite novel i read when i was about 8 y.o. Set in New Orleans, quite spooky and strange but i read it over and over again. Like UHU, another owl story, about a fledgling owl(let) found and nursed and nourished....very beautiful and very very sad. But i like owls!

The owl below was recently hunted down in Sandringham and also functions as a night light! The one above is a ceramic folk piece from Russia.

I've just purchased 2 Mr Owls's from the local nursery to help with the possum problem in our garden - the little blighters are now eating our gum tree as well as all the ornamentals! They actually look quite good hanging in the trees although I think a live one may be more effective. Can't say yet how good they are - let you know in 3-4 weeks.

ps Well down you!
