Clockwork Barn Owl

Edwin Cracknell's first noctural mechanical bird is the Barn Owl.  With it's recognisable mask like face it is a beautiful clockwork specimen with an accurate, though somewhat startling, shrill cry.

Deciding how to create each bird in clockwork form is a challenge - the tricky part on this barn owl was working out how his legs should work!  I'm pleased with how he turned out though :)
