Tawny Owl

Whilst driving home, between Bury Green and Cradle End, I encountered a tawny owl sitting on a road sign. The headlights from the car caused it to remain put as they will have messed up its night vision. Unfortunately, no camera, bit only the 4th I have actually seen in the parish. However, around Brick Kiln Hill they are calling throughout the night, with at least 4 being vociferous last night.
Photos depict snowdrops and local spring bulbs whilst the last attacment is of the early flowering germander speedwell. These were all taken locally, around Chapel Lane the previous afternoon.
