Gluvian Farm Barn Owl
The Barn owls breed in the buildings of a nearby farm and are often seen at dawn or dusk hunting for mice & voles both on our campsite & in the neighbouring fields. We are told that because they need a radius of some 5 miles in order be be able to maintain their food supply in grazed farmland it is unlikely that we will ever have a resident pair in our owl-boxes but that might well be used for an occasional nights roosting |
Kingfisher
They get seen often enough that we know they come hunting the brown trout in the stream - but we ourselves have only seen that spectacular flash of blue just the once |
Our Heron
This fellow makes frequent visits, firstly for a light appetiser of brown trout from our stream & then onto the coarse fishing lakes next door for his main course. Fortunately he hasn't yet found our goldfish - but it might be that "Cedric", our metal Heron who guards the pond, looks a little more fearsome to another Heron than he does to us |
