Especially in the sunshine

Bit hot for llamas but the fish seem happy

Beautiful skies ce soir
Jupiter still readily viewable alongside a wonderful full blue moon
Sadly not captured successfully on my phone
But here's some tried shots on walk home from a lovely evening at Auberge de Brothelande (perhaps this explains the quality photos?) ;)

I decided to sit out for a bit to try and capture a video of barn owl arriving to feed the owletts.

Sky overcast so wasn't going to get anything of clarity, but sat out nonetheless.

My patience paid off, and a parent came back, but seemed only to come back to tell me off!

So if you want to hear an angry barn owl, this footage is for you...

I left as figured if telling me off, they'd stopped hunting for the littluns dinner.

But good news, the nestbox still has littluns, who must surely be soon to fledge.

Beautiful sky over Nicorps this evening
Jupiter to the left, moon to the right

Had our usual casualties this year (lots of predators), but a couple of the mums are still doing a fierce job, so hopefully these cuties will survive nature
They're certainly enjoying a sunbathe
