Bill Oddie... your job is safe
I spent five hours in my garden hidden in a bush trying to record the sound of Oliver. He's my owl who hoots during the day but nobody believes me! Today I spoke to the world's finest bird impersonator Tony Durant. It's a rare skill used in the past by game keepers. He's taught me a very impressive owl technique to temp Oliver into a lunchtime chat.
I shall let you know how I get on. By the way, for my own sanity do you have a noisy owl? If they hoot during the day yes please leave a message and save me a trip to the psychiatrist.
Hi, I'm Mark Cummings. Every day I explore all things Gloucestershire on my breakfast show. The stories, the people, the history, the news - the complete package of what makes the county tick. On the show, and on this blog, we share our knowledge, stories and experiences to celebrate life in Gloucestershire.
