User's notes

We have lost a friend. So so sad. This boobook has been roosting in a large hollow branch for the last month - it's been there most days, and we enjoyed checking every morning. Found it dead on the ground this morning - we suspect it died yesterday. I guess rat poison is the most likely culprit :( I can retrieve it if anyone wants to follow up cause of death. Edit: corrected location, added some pics from happier times.
