It took a couple of visits before I realised where Bubo was perched – you can find him in the Pump Rooms (I had to ask for directions once I got in there!)

It’s not necessarily the easiest owl to get to, but she’s certainly perched in a picturesque spot!

Minerva’s Owls – Parade Gardens
A little break from the official Minerva’s Owls today – this is the owl display in Parade Gardens from the B&NES Parks department.
You can see the display from the public footpath overlooking the gardens if you don’t want to pay to go enter – although if you do enter, you get a better view of Bob the Minerva’s Owl Trail owl

Minerva’s Owls – Twert-Twoo
Still in the Library, and an unfortunately not-so-clear photo of Twert-Twoo (I’m going to have to go back and improve on those I think!). His wings are cleverly decorated with quotations from books.

Minerva’s Owls – Artis
Artis is perched what is known locally (unflatteringly!) as Bog Island, just outside the Abbey Hotel.

Owls Hoot Farewell – change
If you have the original version of the Minerva’s Owls trail map, the date and location of the “Owls Hoot Farewell” event are incorrect.
The correct details are
Saturday 29th September 10:00 – 18:00
Sunday 30th September 11:00 – 17:00
at the Recreation Ground (“the Rec”)
Obviously if you’re following the original trail map, and went into Bath on the weekend stated in there, you’d miss the entire event!
You can buy tickets in advance from the Minerva’s Owls website.
