    Over a few days..a Barn Owl being buzzed in daylight by a gull. Rooks being buzzed by Oystercatchers because it had stolen an egg!! Couple of Linnets. Noted that there's a lot less rabbits around the site where I walk(only seen one in two days!!). But on the up side...is it just me, or are there a few more Swallows about!?

    Yeah I've seen loads of swallows when I've been out cycling of late esp. in the area between Otley/Almscliff Crag and the River Wharfe. Lots of Lapwings in evidence too

    Finally got my front window fixed today as it had failed and was misting up all the time. Clear as a bell now till a Blackbird flew into it this afternoon and messed it up.....it was only stunned though and flew off after it had got its act together again.

    Two deer, a buzzard, kestrel, rabbits, squirrels and a carp in a pond.
    What a great morning to be out.

    What were they all doing in the pond? Drowning?

    owls skreeching in the darkness of the night.
    outside my bedroom window.
    for ages.
    lovely to hear...apart from being kept awake.
    watched for ages to try and catch a glimpse but nothing seen apart from a hedgehog skuttling across the road.
    sounded like 2 adults and a young one - like they were trying to encourage it to fly.

    It'll never work. Hedgehogs just aren't aerodynamic enough.

    Hare on the hill behind our house. Neighbour saw a deer three nights ago. Wildlife camera is going up on a tree trunk tonight tonight again. Last two nights we videoed a dog fox passing through. Who needs spring watch?
