The owners of a North Canterbury bird sanctuary are urging people to look out for baby owls in their wood piles as owlet season begins.

Oxford Bird Rescue's Scott Bowman said he had already taken in six baby owls, four of which had been found when someone moved the remains of their wood pile.

Now is the time of year people have finished using firewood and are moving any left over to make way for next year's supply. Bowman urges anyone who finds evidence of a den in their wood pile to leave it for a month.

SuperGold card holders - free 'Guide to Estate Administration - Where There's a Will and a Grant of Probate' - for clients who use Kiwilaw's service to obtain a grant of probate. (Otherwise $49.)
If you prefer the assurance of using the lawyer who holds the will, ask them to use Kiwilaw's new 'Probate for Lawyers' service ($390) to prepare the documents, unless they can do it cheaper themselves. (You will also have to pay for their interview time and other related attendances, but it should still save you $$$ while maintaining the continuity of having their services.) The top 'Read More' link will take you to the page you need to show your lawyer. The bottom 'Read More' link takes you to the page with more information for clients.
