At the southeast corner of this enclosure there is an old battered chestnut tree. Look for the next one, a few yards away to the southwest. Then look for the one after that, at a slightly greater distance and up the hill a bit. It has brambles round its base. This is the Little Owls' nest tree from last year, and the male owl's favourite branch, when viewed from the north side, is at the top left corner of the tree. One or both of the Little Owls may also be high up inside another chestnut tree adjacent to this on the uphill side, and visible from the north or west side of this tree. This is the tree where they nested this year.<br /><br />I am usually in this area around 12.30-12.45 pm every day, and if you see me, just ask me to show you the trees. You could leave a comment on the blog the day before you plan to visit. If you leave an email address I will contact you directly, and also remove your comment as soon as I see it so that your address is not unduly exposed to bots trawling the web for addresses to send spam to.<br />Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-8093183638084551412015-10-08T01:53:33.344+01:002015-10-08T01:53:33.344+01:00I will be visiting London from the U.S. next week....I will be visiting London from the U.S. next week.
