Rob and I have just been treated to todays visit from the barn owl, perching on the post outside our home office window, using that as a perch to hunt for food from. It's out much later today - visited us at 09.35am yesterday, whereas 13.45pm today . We are so lucky, such a beauty and a sizeable one too...the best view one could wish for from your office window :t::t:

Pushed my Finches at the feeders up to 7 species today; Chaffinch 10+, Greenfinch 10+, Brambling 2, Bullfinch 3, Redpoll 2, Goldfinch 5+ and a female Siskin. I can also occasionally see a Linnet flock in a stubble field in front of the house (very mobile over a wide area) so technically an 8 species of finch day!

[Jos Stratford]

I see Jos is braving the European winter in, err, Texas.

European winter is minus 23 tonight in Lithuania ...and guess which idiot is heading straight for it dressed in sandals and no socks! Ah well, least the feeders should be good.
