A woman in the Forest of Dean, Deborah Flint, was attacked by a bird of prey, likely a Tawny Owl, while walking her dog. She was injured and later discovered her neighbor had also been attacked in the same spot. Flint believes the bird was protecting its nest and urges others to avoid approaching wooden crates in the area, which may serve as nesting boxes for wild birds. She also recommends marking such nests clearly or placing them out of reach to prevent similar incidents.
