Yeah they are, there was someone complaining about them in the Daily Mail the other day.Originally Posted by Margarine
Had the strangest wildlife experience on a recent dog walk, a swimming owl!
Walking along the river Ure I came across a Tawny owl in the middle of the river, luckily on very slow moving bit. All I could see was its head above the suface then noticed its wings fully extended helping to keep it a float. It then to my amazement used its wings to paddle its way across the river, it took 3 goes at getting to the opposite bank. It then managed to scramble onto a rock, one very tired and wet owl. The next morning I walked the same bit of river, it had gone and hopefully ok.

Swan resting on its nest in the middle of the local (disused/clogged) canal. A rather bedraggled place to bring up its young, but its been around for years so I suppose its accustomed to it. Hope to see the new young ones soon.
