Still much the same as it has been, the two identification queeries that I had, the small rodent and the orchid have been solved. The latter was a Pyramidal Orchid, so thank you Tiggrx for that, if I had turned to the next page I would have seen it for myself. The rodent is a Short-tailed bank Vole, but where that and another one that we found decapitated under one of their favoured feeding trees came from is a mystery. I am sure that this species hasn’t been recorded here in so called modern times.
The Little Owls and their young, that I believe to be three are doing well. The recent rain has been a great help as there are plenty of worms and large ones at that near the surface, though looking at the photo below she must have eaten something larger than that.
