Barney the barn owl was frightened into flight from his owner’s wrist and has been missing since Saturday.

Barney is just four months old and belongs to Simon Cook from Rodbourne.

“He was last seen at 9.30pm on Saturday night flying over Rodbourne,’’ said Simon. “He will be hungry because I was about to feed him when he got spooked by a noisy party next door.’’ The owl took off from Simon’s wrist and flew off in fright and he hasn’t been seen since.

Simon bought Barney from a breeder so he has a grey ring around his ankle. He doesn’t have any distinguishing marks looking like every other barn owl but he is domesticated so has brown leather anklets still attached to his legs.

Anyone who sees Barney should contact Simon on 07931 195856.
