Bowman, who runs Oxford Bird Rescue in North Canterbury with wife Tracey, said the volume of little owls they looked after this year had been huge, with about 30 juveniles coming in for rehabilitation.
That was about 10 times the number they would normally expect, and he believed it could be because of a decrease in bugs and insects, the main component of their diet.
Oxford Bird Rescue has been named as a finalist in the MainPower Community Fund, and North Cantabrians are encouraged to vote for them by Friday, March 13.

Environment Canterbury principal scientist Adrian Meredith said the lakes were currently subject to a warning for phytoplankton cyanobacteria bloom, which can kill animals and is harmful to young children.
While it was unclear whether toxicity from the bloom or associated bacterial infection (avian botulism) was directly responsible for killing the ducks, it would not be unexpected, he said.

As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.”
