Alby Darned!

Alby the owl discovered skateboarding while in town with his friend Brian. Brian Maxted who runs the Folkestone Owl Sanctuary was in town, Folkestone, Kent in the UK, with some of the owls hoping to encourage donations for the sanctuary. Alby jumped on a skateboard and stayed on when pulled around. He enjoyed it so much that Brian got him one of his own. Now he powers his ride by flying in and landing on the board and riding out the momentum then doing it again. What a great hobby!
