Barn owls
Most years, in March, the reserve is visited by a pair of barn owls. As barn owls mate for life, this is probably the same pair each year looking for a nest site. They always set up a temporary roost in one of the oak trees in the hedge in the centre of the field between Church Lane and Lambrok Meadow and hunt across our fields in the early dawn.
Have any of you up-with-the-lark early morning dog walkers seen them this year? Please let us know if you have.
