Night Owls

We had a great time last week when 'Night Owls' came to visit.  It was very informative so we learnt a lot about how Owls survive in the wold and howwe should help to look after them.  It was wonderful to expereince them flying over our heads and partriculalry exciting for those children who got to hold the owls.
