Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours...

We have new neighbours at North Haven: A brood of Short-eared Owls has taken a liking to my vegetable plot and its fence posts. Some mornings we now wake up to see these beautiful birds perching outside our bedroom window. What a start to a day - gettin up was never easier!

Now I have to train them to do the weeding for me

Who is watching who?

They are watching us!

7.30 am, time for a clean...

...it puts his right wing in...

...and its left wing out...

in out, in out, shake it all about!

And off it goes

Skomer here I come!
