The Ford Capri Laser Page

Told Mrs Fordoholic Nick I was bringing the bins down to the bin shed tonight at 9pm....did not return till 10.15pm on a round trip that usually takes 4mins !!!

I decided to pop into the garage for 5mins then ended up giving B112 a bit of a post Ace clean down

On my return to the flat and just before Mrs F was gonna have a go I told her I had just seen an owl as I walked back...which was totally true and saved my bacon !!!! First time I seen an Owl in the wild. Stunning it was and I was almost right beside it before it flew off

Your getting like me Nick ,” just be two mins dear wife “ and 2 hours later make a return .

Was it a barn owl you saw , it was only when we moved in to a village that I got to see barn owls in the wild large birds really and they can make a right old noise at night . Lovely thing to see .

There must be a Capri god looking after us to come up with a excuse for being so long

Not sure mate. It was brown and about the size of a small cat. It was just perched on top of the railings beside a little spring that runs through our grounds. It was dark as i walked back and was sure i could see 'something' in the distance on top of the railings than when i got very close i seen it was an owl. It turned its head, looked at me than with a couple of big flaps it was off. Bleedin amazing to see Jason. I was well made up

You are right about the noise as Siobhan says she is always hearing them in the trees outside at night. Her hearing is better than mine. I love seeing wildlife like this in London

Cheers Jason

You wouldn't love it so much if it crapped on your bonnet.

Didn't think of this Paul...now where is that fucking owl !!!

That is so funny about a owl crapping on the car .
Small secret when I did my mad leave the car on the drive when it was raining I kept checking to see if any birds had left me a message .
Know it is nice seeing wildlife we have had these green parrot type birds move in that make a strange noise .

Bloody Owls, had a pair of them in the woods at the bottom of my garden making a right din last night, kept me awake for at least half an hour.

Are you sure it was owls you heard in the woods at the bottom of your garden Paul ? I have heard of another form of wildlife that can be a nuisance too...something called "dogging" ?

Anyway, back to the topic in question. What a stunning animal the Owl is. Amazingly beautiful Although maybe I should not have parked my car underneath it
