WITH Winterwatch getting its annual airing on the BBC and the RSPB's annual big garden birdwatch, the natural world has been in the spotlight in recent weeks.

So it was an opportune moment for our photographer Andy Compton to call in at the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms where these three beautiful tawny owls from the Chelmarsh Owl Centre were on display.

It's fair to say that Kinlet, Malvern and Stretton turned a few heads during the event.
