| Any idea what sort of owl Dpack? We get quite a lot of tawny owls in the woods. I expect we will start hearing them soon as they pair up. |

| I will look into that. I can't see the supply company accepting it as there are levels of pollutants that are allowed, and above that the water supply could have to stop. |

| We saw one in Devon in the 1970s, but as you say, quite rare. They have been reintroduced in the south and some people feed them. There is one close to a friends house and there are loads there. They ... |

Think that post went into the wrong place Dpack.
Back on wildlife, I was about half a dozen red kites the other day further south than I had seen them before but about 5 miles. |
