How wonderful to be able to observe the secret lives of Tawny owls and their owlets!! We often hear ours but rarely get to see them 🦉 Well worth a watch/follow, courtesy of Robert E Fuller

BBC News - Thixendale Tawny owlets attract thousands of live-stream viewers - BBC News

People have been tuning in from around the world to watch the four owlets hatch and grow up.

A fabulous photo of Castle Howard 😍
We've had some beautiful misty mornings this week followed by glorious spring sunshine ☀️🌷

Morning light rising over the dome, with mist drifting across the landscape.
