This is Alby the 13-year-old skateboarding barn owl who lives at Folkestone Owl Rescue Centre, Kent. Alby has developed a technique, which involves him swooping onto the board, using the momentum from his flight to push him along.

I know that sucks, but he was still alive! We took him to an animal rescue center the next day. Here’s a picture from the iphone of the first night we had him. – Tiff I cant believe we found him on the road still. It was around midnight so he came to stay the night with us. – Jonathan
Poor little guy or girl? He had a concussion. But the good folks at the animal rescue league fixed him up. Funny thing. He made two friends in rehab
When we opened the crate two of the owls took off right away. -Tif Too quick for the 70-200. why did i choose that lens??? – Jonathan
This guy did not… I’m pretty sure this is actually the one that I hit, plus he kept giving us the stink eye. -Tif
Then we gave him a little push, still nothing. -Tif
A little coaxing and he was on his way.
Maybe this is why I brought the 70-200… – Jonathan
Hopefully they stick around so we can see them again. -Tif What a truly unique experience. I’m thankful that there are people out there who care enough to help even the smallest of Gods creatures. Thank you Animal Rescue League! – Jonathan
