Walking the dog this morning before it got tooooo hot she started fussing around the sheeps water trough . went over and in it was a barn owl . This years chick I recon . Fledged but not fully grown . With the hot weather he must have gone for a drink and fell in . Fished him out and put him over the fence in a rape field in the sun to dry out . Went back an hour later to check and he was still there . So scooped him up in a towel and took him to " Brent Lodge " wild bird sanctuary/hospital . They will sort him out then call me to collect and release him back were I found him ( not in the trough of course ) . Put him in the cat box to travel him so not good pics but hey .

This is a common event with barn owls. Young and daft. I've found them too late and the man from the owl trust who comes to ring them has mentioned he hears of it rather a lot.

Well done stubby.
