Barn Owlet rescue, Cornwall 7th Aug 2018

I had a call from a farming couple in a rather remote location in East Cornwall via the Barn Owl Trust about a young owlet found sitting on the path in the sunshine and unable to fly.

Following instructions from the Trust I put the young owlet back in the nest box using a long 3 section ladder.

The box was empty of other siblings so I'm not really sure if they'd already fledged or if this was the sole incumbent this year.

I did however grab a few photos before I put him back in the box!
