 The World Owl Centre

A photo of a Tawny Owl  sitting between the railings of a wrought iron gate Large and small, fierce and friendly, beautiful and strange, owls are wonders of wildlife. At Muncaster, headquarters of the World Owl Trust, you will find one of the largest collections of these thrilling birds in existence.

The centre is home to a diverse range - from bizarre fish owls to diminutive pygmy owls which are not much bigger than a sparrow.

There are also buzzards, kestrels and red kites and a daily flying display on the Castle lawns.

        Watch the wild herons feeding during
"Heron Happy Hour" at 4.30pm.
This really is wildlife on the wing!
