SecretLeeds - History, culture and architecture in Leeds

They can be seen on prewar photos of Monk Bridge on Whitehall Road but disappeared during or after the war. Where did they go?I stumbled on this website though:http://leedsowltrail.web.officelive.com/default.aspxSee the owl detectives page, are there any others we can find?    

Owl trivia time The twit twoo call is wrongly thought to be the call of one owl.It's actually "ke-wick" and is the male Tawny Owl calling out for the female, when you hear the ''hoo-hoo-oooo'' it's his lady friend answering back!Aww bless

They mentioned it on the programme once. Another QI animal noise fact, is the "knee-deep" call associated with frogs. Apparently, the only frog in the world to make this sound lives in southern California. A recording of them was used in many early Hollywood films, and so the call became a generic sound for frogs everywhere!    

I've seen thread hijacks in my time but to get from Monk Bridge to Southern Californian frogs in Hollywood films, in four moves, has to be the best! ;-D

There used to be an owl (not real) in the Merrion Centre, on the ledge near the old Odeon cinema. I think it was there to scare the pigeons out of the place.
