North Canterbury's little owls challenged by booming population

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Oxford Bird Rescue has seen more than its fair share of little owls this season, with a record-breaking 16 of the birds through its doors since December.

Owner Scott Bowman, who runs the rescue operation with wife Tracey, says there were several reasons for the increase this year, with the weather possibly playing a part.

Quite a few had fledged but could not find enough food, while another was picked up from a newly-built subdivision in Rangiora.

Stollen Rooftop camper

Margaret from Swannanoa - Ohoka

Our lovely Dutch guests had a rooftop camper stolen off the top of their vehicle last night (Friday).
The car was parked on the corner of South Eyre/Browns Road with a for sale sign on. The awful person/people must have had tools available to unscrew and it was heavy.
Please contact me if you saw anything.
