Message: <blockquote data-quote="mike from ebbw" data-source="post: 1205677" data-attributes="member: 38123">..........is never to interfere with nature.That is what I have always been and have always taught anyway.This evening I broke that rule to my cost!Whilst on an evening walk in the local woods today I came across a juvi Tawny Owl that had obviously decided to explore further than the nest hole and its parents were going nuts as it was on the floor.Thinking about the onset of the evening and a prowling Fox looking for an easy meal I decided to `break the rules` and interfere with nature.I put the chick safely up on a high branch and left.As I was making my way out of the wood I felt an almighty whack to the back of my head!One of the parent birds decided to thank me in a way I wouldnt forget.So there you have it,you should never interfere with nature,because it doesnt bl--dy thank you when you do!LOL.</blockquote>
