A young tawny owl which clung onto the front of a speeding train for more than 300 miles has been named Lucky after surviving the ordeal. The terrified bird of prey, believed to be between two and three years old, was found just below the driver’s cabin when the train pulled into Stobart freight terminal in Crick, Northamptonshire. It is thought Lucky the owl spent the entire 325 mile journey from Glasgow perched on the front of the Class 66 Loco.
