A barn owl has been entrusted with a very special task at a wedding - flying in the rings for the bride and groom.
Three-year-old Casber will swoop down the aisle to give the rings to the best man at the wedding of bird owner Islwyn Jones's daughter Jenni in Denbighshire.
Mr Jones said Casber has been training hard and is confident the wedding will go smoothly at Ruthin register office.
Jenni, 22, who is marrying Stuart Desborough, said: "It will be unique".
Mr Jones, of Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, near Ruthin, has been dubbed the bird man of north Wales.
He said: "Casber is highly trained. He will not lose the rings. He knows what to do,
"He will fly the rings in to the happy couple to complete their special day."

A bit barny - but what a hoot!!! :wah:
