I too am an Owl lover
Such a shame to cut the tree down though isn't it?
Or am I literally 'barking up the wrong tree'

I agree. I've been thinking for years that they just need to transplant a large tree there and decorate it every year. That way they would not have to kill a living being just to be discarded when they are done playing with it.

And for you owl lovers, this is an Eagle Owl named Merlin. We got to fly him while on the Isle of Wight
