I confess that I had forgotten what one calls a group of owls - it isn't a flock or a flight, but a parliament - something to do with a collection of wisdom, I think that the intention was once!
However, in my experience, we don't often see a lot of owls together in the Fens - we occasionally see a beautiful barn owl swooping low along the ditches at dusk when we are in the car, and it is a quite spectacular sight so we feel very blessed to see it.
This little gang has just appeared over the past few days - I just finished a couple in the top row tonight, and the EFG has been busy making the wee pals in the bottom row. One is not a Christmassy one, but still looks great.
I have an idea for a better photograph once I have made a few more, so watch this space - I shall need a few more owls, and a sunny day, so don't hold your breath, given the weather forecast tonight....

I was at school in your neck-of-the-woods (Ely), and there were lots of owls. I'm sure they're in decline; we've even reluctantly kicked one out of our own barn. But I SHALL be building a replacement outdoor nesting box for them.
They are so cute Morgan, they would be lovely decorations on the tree

Those little owls are brilliant, you and your daughter have some good ideas. Your right about the weather forecast - It's Horrible.
I love your little owls. They are so cute.
