Another Evening with the Owls

Valentine's Day 2025

There had been no reports of the Short-eared Owls at Holwell since the 3rd February so time for a visit to see what was going on. As we approached the crematorium the number of cars that were already parked in the two laybys said immediately that the owls were indeed still present, so it was just a matter of settling down with a cup of tea and waiting.

When we first came to Holwell on the 17th January there were four birds present, but in recent weeks only three have been seen. Tonight there were only two birds, but they put on a good show for the assembled audience.

Good to have a natter with Ian Conn and eventually, after all these years, to meet Sh4rpy and his personalised number plate.

Just a pity he can't spell 😋
