01/10/14Tawny OwlShardeloes1D B Hamley
14:30
This is an odd one. The body of a bird which looks like a Tawny is hanging from the branch of a tree @ 300m on the Missenden side of the path gate leading from the Cricket pitch. Well Decayed but plenty of feathers (Barred/White). The only foot/leg visible does not look very owlish. Has anyone else seen it?
