Two young owls were found nesting under the famous Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury during Guns N' Roses' headline set, an animal charity has revealed.
The team at Secret World Wildlife Rescue (SWWR) in Somerset described the incident as "the most unusual disturbance case" they have encountered this year. According to the rescuers, one of the owls, named Axl after the band's vocalist Axl Rose, was found under the steps of the prestigious Pyramid Stage during the LA band's performance on Saturday, June 24.
The following day, the nature charity received a call about the second owl, which was discovered trapped under the stage. This owl was aptly named Slash, in honor of guitarist Saul Hudson's stage name. Axl and Slash, believed to be siblings, were swiftly reunited at the RSPCA West Hatch Wildlife Centre in Taunton before being transferred to SWWR.
The chicks are thought to have been abandoned by their parents, and it remains uncertain how long they were left alone - or which acts they would have heard. SWWR suspects that they were exposed to very loud music during their time alone.
David Plant, fundraising manager at SWWR, expressed concern for the safety of the young owls, stating that they "must have been terrified." Nonetheless, he expressed gratitude towards those who assisted in locating the chicks. He said, "When Guns N' Roses were playing 'Welcome To The Jungle,' I'm sure they didn't realize how close they actually were to wildlife. This is possibly the most unusual disturbance case we've heard about this year, but it just goes to show the importance of checking your surroundings for wildlife before any activity."

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor It took over 555 musicians with sessions around Europe — including in Rome, Vienna, Venice, Switzerland and London — to put together the score for “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One,” composer Lorne Balfe tells Variety. The composer started writing the music almost three years ago, and “at last count, there was over 14 hours of music recorded,” Balfe says. However, only two-and-a-half hours or so made it into the final cut of the film. The storyline sees Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt take on a new villain, The Entity, a sentient Artificial Intelligence. Ethan’s mission is to defeat The Entity with a metal key. And while the film features an array of mind-blowing stunts, including Ethan driving a motorcycle off a cliff or a climatic fight atop a moving steam engine train, there was also plenty of emotion for Balfe to root his score in.
