HAVING A HOOT: BABY OWL HAS A CHUCKLE
Something appears to have tickled this baby owl as he seems to be having a real HOOT. Amateur photographer Conrad Tan caught the tiny Saw-whet owl having a right old TWIT-TER to himself while snapping a family of owls in the hills of a small town called Moraga, 30 miles east of San Francisco. Conrad, 42, an electrical engineer from San Jose, California, heard reports that two baby owls had been sighted in a nesting box in the town so headed out with his camera to see if he could catch the perfect shot. Mr Tan waited for hours for the birds to finally come out of their hiding place and eventually they began to hop around on the branches when, all of a sudden, one of them appeared to crease up with laughter
