No Barking Owls were seen or heard but there has been a cat in the area . One night Curlews down the road were shrieking and the Queen of the Jungle investigated because of concern for a young Curlew chick nextdoor .
While unable to see the cause of the commotion , there was a sudden sound of wings and what appeared to be an owl flew overhead.
