Beware - this season's baby owls could be nesting in your wood pile

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

The owners of a North Canterbury bird sanctuary are urging people to look out for baby owls in their wood piles as owlet season begins.

Oxford Bird Rescue's Scott Bowman said he had already taken in six baby owls, four of which had been found when someone moved the remains of their wood pile.

Now is the time of year people have finished using firewood and are moving any left over to make way for next year's supply. Bowman urges anyone who finds evidence of a den in their wood pile to leave it for a month.
