- Been a long time since I've posted one of these, so here goes...
- A mini heatwave has come over the UK today - because at last the Azores high has built and pushed the jetstream a few hundred miles north of middle England - rather than slap bang on top of us, where its been for the past two or three weeks. This has pushed the thermometer up to 28c - maybe 30c and brought out all the exotic fauna it seems - or maybe I'm just seeing it at present.
- I've found a little owl's nest near our new house (we leave Swift Half in August) - and watched two fo the owls (one young, one parent I think) for a good few minutes this morning.
- Also saw a rose-ringed parakeet fly by the same field - and a buzzard in a tree at the same place also - maybe I'll not miss "Swift Half" as much as I thought?!
- The dragonflies are out in force now - more on that on my "Swift Half" update, as are the moffs (ditto).

Do you think little owls are getting more common? Had only ever seen them in France before this year - and then suddenly there are two nests within about 3 miles of each other in our village. Weird.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jane.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are getting more common, but I do remember seeing many as a lad and none for the past few years - wouldnt surprise me if they're getting more common though - hardy little things I reckon!
