The Scottish winter is creeping closer and with it, the air is growing steadily colder. It is not uncommon to find the rafters a little overcrowded this time of year as rows upon rows of owls huddle together to keep warm.

Should you choose to brave the bitter cold and venture up into the owlery to pay a visit to your winged familiar or send a delivery, however, you'll notice that the owlery is more crowded than normal. Even for this time of year.

Nestled among the owls are a number of forest birds you wouldn't usually see here in the owlery; buzzards, falcons, kestrels and... is that hint of blue in the rafters a jobberknoll?
