A farm in Southampton has welcomed four new birds of prey, including a new Indian scops owl.

The other three residents are an eagle owl, a Harris hawk, and a barn owl.

Gizmo, a six-year-old Indian scops owl, thrives on a diet of insects, small lizards, frogs, and small mammals.

Dusty, a six-year-old barn owl, is known for her friendliness despite being clumsy and losing her toes when she was younger.

Hugo, a 19-year-old European eagle owl, was rehomed from near the Scottish border and is known for his sweet and vocal nature.

Roland, an eight-year-old Harris hawk, is well-behaved and has a history of display work.

"I think the barn owl especially is really cool, mainly because it’s a native species," said Tom Kitcher, farm lead at Southampton City Farm.

"We can educate young people that come to the farm on just how important birds of prey are in England."

Currently, the four birds are "off show" while their aviaries are being completed and they are given time to settle in, though visitors might catch a glimpse of them in the farm's garden area.
