The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free.
But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient.
Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead.
Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?
I'd say Barn Owls were crepuscular, DT, not diurnal. Seeing them at 4 in the afternoon on a warm sunny March day (no young to feed), is definitely weird.
I’m sat on a train heading to Saltburn and weirdly coincidentally just seen a barn owl take off, I thought spooked by the train but then looked like it was hunting.
I haven't seen 'mine' out for ages - but probably not been around at the right time of day - There was a fresh looking pellet under the box last week though.
I was thinking the sort of smaller scale mixed arable local to me rather than east anglian prairie fields Depending on what's being grown we have healthy and left to grow field margins/headlands or regularly cut and hit by frequent sprayings
I see half-eaten voles a lot. There are too many f'ing cats around here!
I think I hear owls in flight I would say if you can hear it in flight it almost certainly isn't an owl! Unless you mean the call.
Ah OK - thanks, just checked it. I’ve been away from such a proliferation of birds, I’ve forgotten most of the knowledge I once had. Added to that, I only found a local birding group in Bristol last year, so have not had knowledgeable people to go spotting with for years. Anyway, large birds with strong wings fly out of the pines when I walk past in the dark - could it be roosting buzzards?
Today’s spots while walking down the road with farmland on each side - lapwings, greylags and 2 skylarks.
Heard my first blackcap of the year this morning. Closest yet in time to my first chiffchaff, but then again I was away for a week, chiffchaffs were probably here a good few days before I heard one.
