stewardship joy!

Another productive day at Buckton, after seeing daytime hunting Barn Owls over the past few weeks I knew one of the boxes must have chicks, it turned out to be the one at Buckton Hall. Chris and Barbara were very proud of their first ever youngsters, all four now fitted with rings. Earlier in the day I had spent a few hours with Chris completely reprofiling the scrape, it now has a series of islands, which should be better in the winter months, all we need is some rain and a few waders this autumn please!
