The last few days have been positively springlike and the local fauna are beginning to be active! The barn owl still regularly flies across the fields and gardens - rich pickings - and I'm sure I heard another calling from the woods the other evening so I'm hoping there will be little barn owls in the not too distant future, though this next wave of winter weather due this week will likely dampen their ardour!
The badgers, too, are becoming more active and are sorting out their setts giving them a springclean and fresh bedding. The photo shows recent activity with dried grass having been dropped just outside an entrance.
The bluebells are peeking above the thick layer of leaf litter so, hopefully, we will get a good display this year - a great photographic opportunity for those who stay at The Barn in Medstead at the right time of year! See www.barfordfarmhouse.com for details of accommodation offered at The Barn where you can be assured of a very warm welcome!
