Sometime ideas take on a life of their own and I t Sometime ideas take on a life of their own and I think this commonly repeated ‘fact’ is one of them….. The colour of an owls eyes tells you when they hunt. Dark is Nocturnal (night) Orange is crepuscular (dusk and dawn) and Yellow is diurnal (day time). But this has bugged me for years because you can’t have a rule when there are exceptions to the rule (I think that’s a Andrzej Sapkowski quote for any Witcher fans!!) So my main three agreements are…. Owls hunt when ever they need too such as the barn owl in summer, they simply adjust the size of their pupils like you and I do to cope with the brighter light. Crepuscular is even more of a bugbear as owls certainly need longer than sun set and sun rise to hunt which means hunting into the day or night making them nocturnal or diurnal. The iris is the muscle that controls the pupil and after some very in-depth discussions with some amazing eye specialist from a vets in Marlow I can confirm the colour of it doesn’t effect the visual skills. And finally to quote the amazing podcast Natures a Hoot by @tom.morath and the @hawkconservancy and the absolutely stunning book ‘Owls’ by the master of owls that is Marianne Taylor, around 40% of owls don’t fit this rule with yellow being the largest majority of owl’s eye colour. So there you have it, why I don’t believe it’s true. I’m always open to learning though so please do drop me a pm if you can shed some further light or would like to discuss this further. For now I’m off to stare into my owl’s eyes and wonder what it all means!!! #breakingtherules #owlseyes

Wonderful customers this week mentioned that they had met Norman a few years ago when he was very nervous and shy and they couldn’t believe the difference as he flew across the field all full of character. Norman is truly a perfect gentleman!!!!

Finally got to the amazing @lostcauldron owned by Finally got to the amazing @lostcauldron owned by our beautiful friend @cherrywallis. We met cherry what she came to do the amazing photo 3 with the very talented @lindablacker and Gimli and she has supported us ever since. Infact I can honestly say that without the help of Cherry and her amazing magical family I don’t think we would have raised the funds to move the centre as well as we did. I will always be so so grateful to this amazing lady and in awe of all that she achieves. If you are ever in the midlands please do go and visit her amazing shop.
Common Buzzards are an essential part of the Briti Common Buzzards are an essential part of the British countryside but many people struggle to identify one. This is hardly surprising as in the 1960's and 70's their population plummeted and you had to be incredibly lucky to see one. They have now clawed their way back to become the UK's most common bird of prey! Buzzards are resilient, stubborn, adaptable and absolutely beautiful. 1. Buzzard numbers have quadrupled since 1970! Less than 100 years ago they were a rare sight in our skies mostly due to direct persecution and pesticide use but there were many, many more factors involved and threats they faced. Thanks to stricter pesticide control, less persecution and introducing legal protection their numbers have bounced back and they are now the UK's most common and widespread bird of prey. 2. Buzzards are opportunistic predators (a trait which may have aided their comeback) and will take a variety of prey from rabbits and voles to lizards and earthworms. They also rely heavily on scavenging for roadkill and other carrion and can often be seen on fence posts along the motorway waiting for our cars to do the hard work for them! 3. It's hard to describe a Buzzard without using the word chunky! They are heavy set birds with wide chests, and broad wings and a broad tail to help them soar effortlessly on warm thermals. They often soar higher than the Red Kites so in areas where Red Kites are numerous we sometimes just don't notice that the Buzzards are there too! This behaviour and body shape earned them the nickname 'tourist eagle' in Scotland but they are much, much smaller than the rare Golden Eagle people are usually searching for. Their chunky legs and fluffy trousers can be clearly seen when they come down to the ground hunting for earthworms. Why not come along and meet Mouse our handsome Buzzard along with the rest of our amazing bird team on one of our flying experiences of photography days? #birdphotography #falconryexperience #britishwildlife #birdsofprey #birdofpreycentre
