I heard a Cuckoo as I walked back from checking the post...
fortunately there was none as it would have ended up on the ground.
It was most likely passing through on its way North...
but nice nonetheless!!
Also GrusGrus are saying that large movements of Cranes are occurring in Gallicanta...
so keep your eyes open!
And just now [19:13] we've seen the Barn Owl hunting over the meadow in the evening dim!
I went out to get a better look and followed it over the bief into the field next to the potager...
at which point I had to check my eyes...
something else white was moving...
yes!
There were two, wheeling around each other...
and then they separated and one came back across the meadow...
the otherhunting over the fields either side of the road...
too late now to get them to use the barn owl box...
or the owl slot...
they'll have found a nesting point... and it must be near!
We'll keep you posted.
Until then, here's another of my brother's Barn Owl pictures to keep you entertained...

| Nick took this at Sculthorpe Moor near Fakenham in Norfolk |
The Sculthorpe Moor flickr site is well worth a visit...
Nick took this picture on February 8th.

Great photograph!
Let's hope Spring has really sprung.
There is another on the Sculthorpe Moor site taken just after this one by one of Nick's photographer friends that shows this owl on a post... the ones here are much browner on the back than these... they are so ghostly in the half-light.
super photo!
I wish I could catch shots like this!! But Nick'll spend the better part of the day for a capture like this...
