This is Rupert, a little larger than Gizmo (yesterday's owl, a cute bundle of fluffy feathers), in fact Gizmo would barely be a mouthful to this guy. Rupert is a Siberian/Turkmanian Eagle Owl cross and, like Gizmo, he is a great character. Born at the Screech Owl sanctuary in 1992 he is one of their more popular owls.

There are several more shots of him in my 'owls' gallery, including the two below. Clicking on either thumbnail will take you to that image in the 'owls' gallery.

If you can spare a moment to leave a comment, that would be very much appreciated, I am always interested in the opinions of others, good or bad. Thanks.
