Theft at Three Sisters

Toowit-twoo-to-who has our owl flown. Just two days after rangers placed a four foot wood sculpture of an owl in the bird feeding station at the Three Sisters recreation area it has been stolen. The owl was sculptured at a Family fun day in 2004 and has been in storage until last Friday 23 September when it was put into place, it was missing on Sunday morning 25 September.

The sculpture stands four foot high and weighs about 70 lbs and would take two people to carry it from where it was placed.

A great deal of work went into making the owl which was meant to be an attraction for the many small children who like to watch the birds at the feeding station.

If you see this owl tying to catch the odd mouse in someone’s garden can you give the rangers a call on 01942 720453 or send an e-mail to me at the address on this posting and we will try to catch it.
