Rescued baby owls get apt nicknames after being rescued from Glastonbury performance

Two baby owls rescued from underneath the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury during rock band Guns N'Roses set have been given musically appropriate names.

The tiny owlets have been named Axl and Slash, after two of the ban's famous members, and to celebrate their unusual rescue.

The tiny birds are thought to have been abandoned after their parents made a nest in what would soon be the noisy main stage of the festival, and were rescued as the global music icons performed.
