Adventures of Willow - Meet baby Scottish owl chick that's stolen all our hearts

A baby owl in Aberdeen has taken the internet by storm recently as she takes the steps to learn how to use her wings.

Little Willow is a 4 week-old barn owl and owner Norman Watson has been updating his Facebook friends on her adventures and how she is getting stronger every day.

In a cute video, Norman posted Willow hopping around the grass and wrote: "The adventures of Willow, she’ll be flying in under 4 weeks time! Walking will be for humans!"

On Facebook, Norman - a wildlife photographer -said he was delighted to fulfil his childhood ambition of owning an owl. He said: "A guy I’ve known for years runs north east falconry centre and he had a egg that hatched in an incubator so I got her at 14 days old!

"I did a falconry course last year with my son and got a great place to have a flying friend who’s very much part of the family already! Childhood ambition but only now I’m in a place to give Willow the best home."

And many commented on the cute snaps taken by Norman.

One said: "Omg!! She's just the sweetest wee toot."

Another commented: "Oh she’s lovely!"

While another added: "Can't breathe for cuteness!"
