4th: Exciting We hear tawny owls every single year at this time, and have done since we moved here in 2016. We are rather delighted to have finally caught one on one of our trail cams that we have had running for the last year or so. It's not the best quality but it is a perfect view nonetheless |

5th: Still finding new fungi These beauties are growing in a gap in the trunk of the ash tree by Yeti's gate - the left hand one as you face it from Swallow field. ID is not yet certain but it MAY be Bitter Oysterling. We will keep an eye to see if it grows a bit more and/or changes shape. There was also some Crystal Brain in the same gap growing just above it; a perfect example of a true micro climate. In other news, we spied what looked like a mating pair of Great Diving Beetles today in Poultry Pond - a little early!! Mating usually happens in the spring after a winter spend buried in wet soil!!! So, not altogether sure what was going on here. And the pictures aren't really good enough to work it out!!!
