Local Owls

A few years ago , other than Tawny and Little, owls were hard to come by around the Queensbury area but with reports coming in regular now we can be proud to say we hold hold all 5 of the British owl species. Even though Queensbury weather is bad I think we,ll have to forget the sixth owl, the Snowy.
