I live in a field in Essex in England. I am a rather special owl because I have a human friend who is going to share my adventures on my website. Well, he thinks I
am sharing his so I let him believe that.
Short-eared owls live all over the world except in Australia and the Antarctic. We are quite rare and are on amber status under the RSPB conservation list.
I have set up this website so that we can all learn things; maybe Richard helped a bit. I hope we're going to have lots of fun together. Scroll down to see
how I got my name.
Hi. I suppose you could say that I am Owlbut's keeper but he prefers to call me his friend. I'm happy with that. I have been involved in education now for nearly
40 years, longer if you count the time I was at school, and I still learn something new almost every day.
I have also written, or contributed to, around a dozen educational books.
In 1994-95 I ran the forerunner of this project when 50 primary schools followed my journey around the coastline of England through weekly, 12 page
newsletters accompanied by 6 or 7 photos. I did want to go off yet again and do something similar but with so much more potential but coronavirus has stopped
this, at least until September 2022, but I never give up. All of this may be why my grandchildren call me "Crazy Grandad".

I bet you want to know how I got my name. You see every time I answered a question my little friends would say, “yes, owl but how....” and then ask another question.
I thought they were calling me Owlbut. Watch the video to see.
It seemed a nice name and then, one day, I was flying across a field and some children were playing and they kept calling for Owlbut to join in so I knew it must be
a real name. Of course now I know they were shouting out to Albert but, anyhow, that's how I got my name and I really like it.
