Well not sure if you will believe this - but mum and dad are actually - erm were actually - bird sitting!! STILL

We had CASPER with us for around a week - but his dad came and collected him this evening - think dad was chuffed to swap the bird for a bottle of real ale lol

And the other bird if Andrew's baby barn owl - he left him with us last Wednesday - and do you know  my Mum has become really attached to him - and is snap happy with him....

Hey mum - what about me???

So the baby - Barney - is growing at an alarming rate - his mum and dad asked that we get a photo every day for their album and mum hasn't let them down - yet!!!

As hes only small  - and young  - he stays indoors all the time but everyone stops to talk to him and give him a stroke which he loves

Here are a few of the photos - one from each day he has been with us so this was taken on 27th July

And then 28th July

29th July

30th July

31st July

and finally 1st August

Isn't it amazing how he has grown day after day....

I think mum will be pretty sad when he goes home to his mummy and daddy on Wednesday - but its been great fun having him over for the week!!!
