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.

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

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.

Staying in the Library (where unfortunately my camera struggled to get some of these photos as clear as I would have liked), we have Bartholomew the Royal Owlet!
Minerva’s Owls – Summer 2018
Not the easiest owl to find (the app says he’s on platform two, but he’s actually in the ticket hall!), but well worth the wander back down from the platform.
IsamBIRD Kingdom BrunOWL is (obviously) based on Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and has some fantastic scenes painted on his wings.

Into the Library next, where there are three owls perched together – this one is Warrell, who has a brilliantly creative feather pattern!

Did you know that from the King’s Lounge in the Pump Rooms, you get such a spectacular view of the Roman Baths?
(it’s also where two of Minerva’s Owls are perched)

Following on from yesterday, you can find a second own perched upstairs in the Victoria Art Gallery. Now this isn’t the owl they were meant to have – unfortunately Chris Packham’s owl has been delayed, although they’re hoping it might still make it in time for the Owls Hoot Farewell at least!
The unique thing about Kid Cre’owl is that he’s signed by artists and celebrities visiting Bath – can you spot your favourite personality on there?

I don’t go into the Victoria Art Gallery much, so it was interesting to head in there to spot Blossom the owl. If you’re following on the app, the question relates to part of the art gallery I’d walked through before, but hadn’t paid any attention to whatsoever!

Ever met a rugby-playing owl before? No? Well you obviously haven’t encountered Hoops yet
This very sporty owl is perched outside the Bath Rugby shop just off Pulteney Bridge.
