Staff and residents at Cadbury care home in Yatton were paid a visit by some beautiful captive breed owls.
The home got to see two different species of these magnificent birds, courtesy of North Somerset Bird of Prey centre.
The excitement amongst residents was palpable as they even got the chance to hold these creatures, all while learning fascinating facts about them.
The owls, part of a flight team, were bred in captivity and are used to human company.
A representative from North Somerset Bird of Prey centre said: "The owls have been bred in captivity so are imprinted on humans, they like to be around people and seemed to have enjoyed being around the staff and residents.
"It was lovely to see the residents getting so much pleasure from the visit, I think it is fair to say that Darwin and Pedro have a new fan club!"
The visit certainly made an impact.
General manager Audrene Abrigo explained: "All our residents were fascinated by these owls so we were delighted that North Somerset Bird of Prey Centre were able to visit.
"It was brilliant to be able to ask the handlers questions about working with the animals and what it is like to look after them.
"We loved learning about all the interesting facts about owls."
Operated by Barchester Healthcare, Cadbury Hall provides residential and respite care to the residents of Yatton.
