Save an Owl for £1

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.

Meet The Birds Daily at 2.30pm (location varies and flying is not always possible)

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