This tawny owl came into the sanctuary with a damaged eye, which is often the sign of a collision with a car.
An owl’s eyes are so large, that bruising can often be seen by looking into the owl’s ear - this is quite a good way to check for injury.
This little one should recover with a bit of time and TLC, although unfortunately sometimes if the damage is extensive, it can cause a loss of the eye. We hope this one will make a full recovery!
