Thanks, pk! :D
A nice visitor. I'm always... intrigued by those of you who can have such handsome visitors. (And raccoons too probably). Makes me feel to enclosed inside the city...
Cheers
Thanks! The deer are frequent visitors. I'm not sure if we have raccoons, but I wouldn't doubt it. A Barred Owl was our most impressive visitor so far.
Owls are lovely creatures. We had a house in Normandy, many many years back where we spent the summer. Hedges and trees were home to all sorts of little owls. One would go to sleep to their lovely songs...
Yes, they are!
