RT @SlCathy: #OwlishMonday The Maastricht Hour's "Parliament of Owls" is the gift that keeps on giving! @todbooklady Here a thoughtful owl (left) is presented alongside an owl being prodded in the rump in a most impertinent fashion (right). The look on his/her face! pic.twitter.com/yd8ecDeWuR

RT @SlCathy: #OwlishMonday In The Maastricht Hours, the owl takes the high ground in this somehow rather cosy & homely portrait of a significant Biblical event. The ox is very endearing (centre). I guess the heron will be created later after all the fish are safely deposited in the water! pic.twitter.com/7tHmb0pDaM

RT @DrJEBall: A charming figurine found at the #Roman fort of Birdoswald (#HadriansWall), of a round & cloaked individual - he is probably meant to represent a deity of some kind, perhaps one of the mysterious Genii Cucullati ('hooded spirits') of Romano-Celtic religion #RomanFortThursday pic.twitter.com/xa6pryUSXv
