Monday 15/02/2021 A quick visit.

Did you know that a Black Headed Gull will eat small mammals like mice or voles given the chance see picture below

And the barn owl will hunt with people around in it's vicinity.

In Britain and Ireland, rodents comprise about 90 per cent of their prey, especially short-tailed voles, followed by wood mice and brown rats, here is the female diving to capture her prey

Barn owls are medium-sized predators, averaging about 36cm in length. The barn owl’s wingspan is usually between 80-95cm, but there’s a lot of variation across their range.

The barn owl’s heart-shaped face collects sound in the same way as human ears. A barn owl’s hearing is the most sensitive of any creature tested, and it has ears (hidden beneath feathers) at slightly different heights to help calculate the precise source of tiny noises made by mice.

Hope you all had a fantastic Monday and are all settled in for the night :)

See You Again Soon
