It must be spring because I have just power washed the paving, outdoor seating and trampoline. Also a sure sign of spring is our pet rabbits getting even more friendly than usual :shock:

For the last few weeks we have been watching the local barn owl hunting just before dusk. Our house is surrounded by fields and hedgerows. It follows the hedgerows a lot but hunts across the grass field next door as well. All of a sudden it dive bombs to the ground to catch it's prey.

It is such a beautiful bird. We see it most days and if we don't then I start to get worried. It's our owl now :lol:

A month ago there was a nesting box for Little Owls placed in our garden. I heard them a lot last year and hope that they move into the box soon.

We have a Stork's nest on the roof and I am regularly woken by the sound of their clattering. It is now the time that they migrate back from Africa to nest here and we are hoping that a pair take up permanent residence.
