There are at least a dozen Tawny Owl boxes in the park and no owl has ever been seen near one, though the squirrels find them comfortable in winter.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-33297365623290392772021-04-22T06:05:40.781+01:002021-04-22T06:05:40.781+01:00A smart Redstart- a few years since I last found o...A smart Redstart- a few years since I last found one locally.
