Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance welcome two new recruits to flying team

A supporter of the charity discovered a pair of barn owls nesting in their garden – and has named them Lincs and Notts.

The supporter said: “As an avid fan of the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance and residing just a stone's throw away from their base, I often catch glimpses of the helicopter soaring to aid those in need.

“On the very evening the barn owls settled into their new home, the helicopter happened to fly directly above at the same time.

“It felt like destiny, so I decided to name them Lincs and Notts.”

The owls have laid five eggs, and LNAA is awaiting their hatch in early June.

Owl updates as well as footage capturing the first few weeks of these owlets’ lives will be featured over the next few weeks on the charity’s website, ambucopter.org.uk
