Little owl in it's run down shed this morning. I've not seen this one for quite a few months so nice to know he/she is still around.

Cheers Snappy. Yes, not much gets passed it. Seems to have taken to the other end of the shed which isn't the best for light. Hopefully it will switch back... I'll have words.

Super photo Bob. I've only ever seen one in captivity, or at the quarry on Portland, and he's sporadic!

Ta PB. There used to be 7 families at one point but now I just know 2. I'm sure there are more, just a case of keeping an eye out.

Ta Willpar. Lucky to have them around although they can be quite stern as you pass by.

Must be a new generation of hares, you'll need to be training them more thoroughly lol
Lovely deer shots, with the velvet :)
