On my late evening 'getting a bit of fresh air' stroll down the village street it was good to hear the hooo- ho ho ho hooo of a tawny owl from somewhere behind the Manor House. In past years the calls of both male and female owls were heard regularly in the village, when they were able to nest in the old coachhouse beside the Manor, but the renovation of the building has denide them this accomodation.
In recent years they have usually been heard in the autumn when juveniles are seeking new territories, so a January occurance is unusual.
