    Two owls were playing pool. One owl said " Two Hits". The other owl said "Two hits to who?"

    The owl is probably one of the best birds. The eagle is the best though.

    All birds are "birds of pre" Venom.

    Don't get involved with them.

    As it goes, I'm quite partial to a bit of 'twitching'. My favourite location is the RSPB Reserve at Minsmere, Suffolk. Not only can you spot Avocets, Bitterns and Reed Buntings, there are also rare butterfly breeds, the Crimson Underwing being one of them.

    After this, I will stop at the quaint little town of Aldeburgh for fish and chips.

    Lovely, eh?

    I thought owls could turn their heads through 360 degrees unaided, but apparently they can only do 270; they need a little help to get that final 90 in. Disappointing.

    That would be overkill when they can just move their eyes to get the full 360 degrees vision.

    Eyes are fixed in their head, no movement possible. Believe me I tried

    I never knew that. That's bizarre.

    I suppose the owls could always turn their bodies to get that extra bit of perspective. Or work in pairs. I'm sure they know best, being so wise and that.
