Strong Statler and Waldorf vibes in this news item from 1572 about gun shooting monks. #skystorians
a colorized handdrawing of a news item showing two monks. The first is holding a gun and shooting, and the other was is assisting and loading the next bullet.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.
An owl handler I met (although not the one in my anecdote) with his beautiful owl.

Wonderful to see this today @theul.bsky.social - a magnificent choirbook probably from the court of Henry VIII or Henry VIII, with a motet and a five-part mass which appears to be the work of a Welsh Gentleman of the Chapel Royal, John Lloyd (c.1475-1523).

Starting this week with a pocket-sized species - the Pearl-spotted Owlet.

📍Akagera National Park, Rwanda.

#Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶
A small, round, brownish owl that is often active by day. It has white speckles on its back and tail; white spots (not bars) on the crown and head are diagnostic. The presence of white-ringed, black blobs on the back of the head give the impression of “false eyes”. Singles and pairs are common in moist and arid wooded savanna, including near villages.
