I WANT to issue a warning to small dog owners.

I was walking my daughter’s dog just before Christmas at Woolston park along Spittle Brook at around 4.30pm.

I just happened to look up and above me I saw a large bird against the clear sky.

It was as big as an eagle but seemed to have no head just like an owl. But with a wing span of five to six feet, it was about as big as an owl.

After some research I believe it to be an eagle owl.

Can anybody confirm that we have an eagle owl in Woolston?
