Lucy the cross-eyed owl who was left virtually blind after an animal attack, California, America - 23 Sep 2009
HOO ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
She may only have limited vision but Lucy the owl's disability hasn't stopped her from finding the perfect perch in life.
The five-year-old Western Screech Owl can only see a short distance following an attack when she was just a fledgling.
The tiny bird, who stands just six inches high and weighs just over eight ounces, was discovered under her nest site in Santa Barbara, California.
Both her eyes had been punctured by a predator, possibly a small hawk or a corvid.
Unable to survive in the wild, Lucy is now an invaluable 'staff' member at the Ojai Raptor Center in California where she helps to raise other orphaned youngsters.
The small owl, who has a 12-inch wingspan, has only limited vision.
Kim Stroud, director of the Ojai Raptor Center, comments: "She can see maybe 10 or 15 feet but we don't think she can identify objects. She wouldn't survive in the wild."
However, despite her size and disability Lucy could live for a further 15 years.
Kim, 46, both founded and runs the Ojai Raptor Center, a non-profit rescue and rehabilitation centre for injured birds in Ventura County, an area of Southern California that boasts millions of acres of national parks.
And little Lucy has proven to be a valuable resource at the centre.
"She's a wonderful mother," says Kim, 46. "She lays eggs every year, infertile of course, but whenever screech owl eggs are brought in from the wild we have switched them. The same with foundling baby screeches. Lucy has raised 15 of them so far".
Despite, or maybe because of, her excellent maternal instincts the tiny predator can be fierce and protective too.

BROUGHT 'AQUITANIA' TO LAST RESTING PLACE
22 February 1950
Dead on schedule, the veteran liner 'Aquitania' completed her 443 and last voyage when she arrived at the wartime secret military port of Faslane, on the Gareloch, Scotland, where she will be broken up.
All along the coast and from the banks of the Clyde, her birthplace, the 44,786 ton Cunarder was given a last farewell by groups of watchers. 'Aquitania' estimated to have steamed more than three million miles and carried more than a million passengers during her peace and wartime career, will yield some 36,000 tons of scrap. Even in eclipse she will be serving Britain, the metal will be re fashioned an used by Clyde shipyards in new vessels.
Picture shows: Captain R B G Woollatt, of Cheshire who commanded 'Aquitania' on her last voyage, pictured aboard the liner on arrival at scrapped

WINTER CONVOY
These pictures were taken on board an escort ship which accompanied a convoy bringing food from the outside world and supplies from port to port through winter seas made dangerous by mines and submarines, the skies overhead a constant threat from German warplanes. The weather was bad. The spray froze on the clothes and faces of the gunners and men who stood watch. Heavy seas beat against these little ships. They brought in their cargo.
