Well, you know I know nothing!<br />I don't seem to remember swans and owls frequenting your blog, either. Wonderful to see them, especially the barn owl...so pretty. I've seen swans before (maybe in the Netherlands, do you think?) but never considered the idea of them in England. (Again, uneducated enthusiasm.)<br />The photo of the kestrel is wonderful...it seems to be trying to look large and in charge, the way it is standing up and staring.<br />I could go on and on with completely uneducated enthusiasm, so I'll sign off now.<br />All the best — KKay L.

I was just scrolling quickly through without reading until I saw it, because this is the first time I remember reading about that particular bird. Cute little guy. And then I went back and read the whole post and added up the number of birds you saw on my fingers. (No I really didn't do that, I just gasped in wonder at it all.)

They are all great. I always enjoy your posts. Yes, we picked an awful time to move, but we would have been up here by the end of October if it had been our choice. It took FOREVER for the VA to do an appraisal on the house we were buying, and that caused the huge delay.
