Prosperous woman could be now standing next to missing Eagle Owl, with appeals for owners to contact

Appeals are now being made by a woman currently in Prosperous who thinks that she could be standing close to a missing owl.

The female European Eagle Owl, named Tank but nicknamed 'Owlington', escaped from its home in Curragh Grange, Newbridge,  while being fed on Friday.

The creature has a 6.5-foot wing span.

People are being encouraged to stay at a safe distance from the  eagle owl.

The owner is being encouraged to contact local Gardaí,  the KildareNow or KildarePost offices on 045 408200, or via Facebook or email editor@kildarepost. com
