Hi there

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/5059813.Watch_out__there_s_an_eagle_owl_about/

The thing I do not like about this story is that it over plays the fact that eagle Owls will eat all pets/children in the area.

Why do the press always play down the fact that all BoP's are killing machines and should not be near any people for any reason. :-C

To me this report does no justice for any bird that exists on this planet. :-C

Regards
Kathy

Thanks for the warning, I'll keep my kids indoors.
I never read the Adver, never anything worth reading in it, except the other day when my mate put his lorry in a ditch.

I like how the report says "There is no suggestion that the bird of prey would swoop on children, especially as it has been familiar with children since it was a chick.", thereby suggesting that very possibility.

According to our daft local paper...

The brown speckled bird – which has a wingspan of six metres – flew free on Sunday, March 7.
