Tawny Owl

27 Apr 2025: More bugs and an owl

While pulling sycamore seedlings at the working session this afternoon, we heard blackbirds creating a commotion, then we spotted the Tawny Owl. It was trying to have a good day's sleep, but the blackbirds were trying to keep it awake and scare it away!

Also several new insects identified, including this Acorn Weevil (the female lays her eggs in acorns) and yet another species of shieldbug.
