Hi Clare, welcome to our forum, apologies again for the delay in replying to your mail, hopefully everything is sorted now.

Look forward to reading your posts and hope you can find the time to perhaps upload some photos of your wards.

Rolf

Hello Clare - a little on the late side, but welcome! As for your freezer issue, have you heard of 'Freecycle'? In order to stop stuff going to landfill, people offer their unwanted stuff for free. Just 'google' freecycle and with a few clicks it should show you to your local group. I have picked up and disposed of a few things that way.

Well if you get a chance to take some pictures and upload them, you can start a thread here with them, which is a good starting point.

If you don't have a digital camera, I'm sure one of us has a pal who lives in Essex, who would be delighted of the opportunity to take some pictures of your Owls.
