Sat 02 Feb 2007Don't let barn owl become a late, late speciesAnother Life:On an unspeakable evening in November 2002, a night when the drains of Dublin failed, rush-hour commuters were huddled at dusk on the platforms of Pearse Street station.  Suddenly, and noted only by a few, a barn owl flew in from the deluge, perched on a girder under the roof, and shook itself into composure. If its appearance seemed improbable in 2002, it would be even more so today, as the dockland of old stone warehouses and grain mills is finally morphed into office blocks and penthouses.
