I am doing some voluntary work at Wick Court (a farm for City Children that we did the cycle ride for) and my job is to do a count of birds on the farm. I’ve been counting since January. I have been trying to take a picture of the Little Owls (a family have nested in an old pear tree) for information sheets for the children. They normally sit out and take little notice of you so are an easy bird to snap. Last week they waited till I got the camera out and then flew off. Yesterday it was a lovely morning so I thought they would be sunning themselves in the open. Did I see them? I spent over an hour hanging around but no sign! I’m sure they were watching me and waiting till I went before coming out.

Clare is off to London tomorrow to meet up with our Peter and visit an exhibition. I am preparing the presentation for the Children’s Centre bid!
