FRITTON OWL SANCTUARY
We give a forever home to unwanted and captive bred Owls. Injured native wild Owls which are rescued are assessed and treated in consultation with our local vet. When they are healthy and rehabilitated they are released back into the wild. We give educational talks to school, colleges and groups about the plight of wild Owls.
