On my way back to London today I had to change trains at Middlesbrough. At the railway station a fine old gentleman who I think is probably the reincarnation of Wilfred Hyde-White, saw my camera and binoculars and suggested I take a look at the eagle owl which has taken up residence on one of the nearby buildings. So I did:

There is a successful wild breeding pair in North Yorkshire, and the gentleman thought this was one of their offspring. But perhaps it's an escaped captive bird. http://www.bbc.co.uk/tees/content/articles/2007/01/10/terror_owl_featu re.shtml Cheers, Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
