We have a family of tawny owls in the woods around our cabin- it's so fantastic- i have never seen owls so close up in the wild. Most evenings you can see at least two of them- in the pine trees just above your head- some nights four or five-wow! Hopefully building a few more boxes this year will ensure they stay.

The Vegie garden is improving after a sunny spell and the addition of some organic compost and chicken pellets- things are finally taking off and I can already pick spring onions, lettuce, spinach, beans, peas and baby carrots.  Tomatoes, peppers, courgettes to follow soon hopefully. Happy days!
