I like him (her?) loads - an absolutely lovely image.

Owls are a bit special - as I type this I can hear one outside, along with some geese who seem to be complaining about the weather. Soft buggers!

I do love Owls Korks ... This one is apparently a Hawk Owl ... They are found in Canada, Siberia Cetral Asia  and Northern America. It hunts by day ,unusually and  can detect and catch small rodents under a foot of snow due to it's exceptional hearing. This one didn't hoot ...it screeched !
