//"We may see her again - we hope not," said Mr Samkin. "Hopefully, she's learnt to keep her weight in trim so she can escape any predators or being picked up."//

I was thinking just that - will she overindulge again ?

What does ''being picked up '' - means ?

This owl's too fat to really fly,
It cannot soar up in the sky.
The voles are pleased, the earthworms too,
But - just you wait! Whoo's next, yes, whoo?

[Bazile]

This owl fell from the sky .
There on the ground , he did lie .
Along came a good Samaritan ,
Of whom the owl is now a fan

Was that Sandra or Tracey ?

[Chipchopper]

Probably an abundance of earth worms, due to the relatively mild and wet weather of late.
Hope he's owlright.
