We have to wait for the leaves to fall off to have a chance of finding where they are spending their days now. Tony Duckett will be putting up two owl boxes near their old nest tree to try to tempt them back.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-11089008088726660862015-10-27T23:37:55.269+00:002015-10-27T23:37:55.269+00:00Once more, thank you very much.
