Seen 1000's of sand martins today, never seen so many at one sight. A pleasure to watch. Also living close by was a peregrine. Easy food so he hangs around!
Found this family of little owls last week, 2 adults and 3 chicks. Went to the site again yesterday and one of the chicks had died. We found the body, possibly taken by a fox. The two remaining chicks are very active now and have mastered the art of flight!
