Tree of the Week 🌳

Azarole hawthorn (Crataegus azarolus)

Azarole is native to Western Asia and North Africa and is cultivated throughout the Mediterranean region for its large, tasty fruits. It is also known as the Mediterranean medlar, for this reason.

The round red to light-yellow fruits have an apple-like, sweet-sour aromatic taste. They have a very high vitamin C content and are enjoyed raw or processed in jams, compotes, or baked goods. They are also an ideal food source for many species of birds in the autumn, from Woodpigeons to Waxwings.

Earlier in the Summer, a member of the public came

Earlier in the Summer, a member of the public came across this little guy sitting in the middle of the path in Bute Park! Our Ranger advised that the owlet be taken to Caerphilly Bird Rescue, because if it had been left (as you usually should do with baby Tawny owls), it most likely would have been attacked or eaten by dogs.

Please read the information below from @barnowltrust on what you should usually do if you find a Tawny owlet in the wild (not in a city park):

"When you find a young owl, it is very important to identify the species. The correct course of action to take depends entirely on which species of owl you are dealing with.
With Tawny owls, in almost all cases, by far the best thing is to leave it where it was found.
(Or take it back there – It is very important to remember or find out exactly where the owlet was picked up.)
Unless there is something definitely wrong with the owlet, it is far better off remaining in the wild.
It is not the best thing for an owlet to be hand reared and released later.
It is perfectly natural for part-grown Tawny Owls to be out of the nest before they can fly.
Adult Tawny Owls will feed their young wherever they are – even on the ground.
An owlet will not be rejected by its parents because it’s been handled by humans – they have very little sense of smell."

If you find any sick, injured or young wildlife and are unsure what to do, always call your local vet or wildlife rescue charity - or, if you are in Bute Park, come to the visitor centre and ask our Ranger! 🤠
