owl

With all the interesting press about seagulls and their summer antics we bring you a great unintended consequence – the award of student status to an Owl! The story tells us:

An owl which is used to deter seagulls from nesting at the University of Bath has been given a library card in recognition of his “valuable service”.

Yoda the Eagle Owl visits the campus twice a week with his handler, Marcus, as an environmentally friendly method to control the numbers of gulls.

In recognition of his work, the university decided to issue the seven-year-old bird with his own card.

The university said the card had not yet been presented to Yoda.
