Something Fowl is Afoot at the Abbey

So lately in searching for photos chronicling the darkest last days of Downton, I came across an Instagrammer Mini_Heather who somehow manages fantastic on-set shots, but even more humorous are the fowl antics she engages in with the crew and cast. In what is very much Michelle/Little Lady Mary style, Heather has toted this adorable stuffed owl, named Plockton on her many treks and documented his (her?) travels with her. His (or her) conquests have led him to the town of Downton, and this little bird has been rubbing talons with the biggest (and coolest) stars who were clearly more than willing to pose with the small chap...well, in the fashion of awkward and poorly coordinated selfies, Mary was kind of forced into it, Molesley initially appeared caught off guard, and the keen animal perked his ears to eavesdrop on Mrs. Patmore and Mrs. Hughes before they finally skirted over to strike a pose with him...I couldn't pass this up so here are some of the best of Plockton.
