Oxford Bird Rescue nears the end of its busiest little owl season on record
Oxford bird rescuer Scott Bowman is gearing up for an influx of hawks following his busiest little owl season ever.
Bowman, who runs Oxford Bird Rescue in North Canterbury with wife Tracey, said the volume of little owls they looked after this year had been huge, with about 30 juveniles coming in for rehabilitation.
That was about 10 times the number they would normally expect, and he believed it could be because of a decrease in bugs and insects, the main component of their diet.
Oxford Bird Rescue has been named as a finalist in the MainPower Community Fund, and North Cantabrians are encouraged to vote for them by Friday, March 13.
