Owl in the chimney!

We heard some strange noises for hours and hours. It took us ages to realise they were coming from the chimney of the wood burner out the back of the house. An unfortunate owl had fallen down!
We rescued him and called him (or her!) Sooty.
To be honest we didn't think he would survive the night after the shoc, but we left him in one of the stables with some water and meat just in case. And HURRAH, in the morning he was gone - having apparently bathed in the water as it was black, eaten the meat and flown off.
Now every time we here an owl was say it is Sooty thanking us...

 Not looking very happy or clean in the chimney

His head really can rotate right round!
