PICTURED is Nigel Palmer from Owls R Us, based at Netherexe, who was showing several of his owls for people to see at a recent Crediton Farmers’ Market. Pictured with him are Elliott Butterfield (9), from Sandford with his six-year-old brother Alfie, who were introduced to this white and fawn owl. The boys said they were delighted to make friends with it, and said it seemed very tame and friendly. Photo: Margaret Tucker
