It was so windy and wet over the weekend that I stayed in my box nearly all the time.
My friend Benjie, who lives next door to me, stayed put too.
Benjie is a Western Screech Owl. His folks come from the “US of A”, as he is fond of saying. I don’t really know why he is called a Screech Owl, as all he ever does is talk in a very soft little voice!
Today, however, the weather was much better so I went for a bit of a walk around the farm. I found my friend Gyp enjoying the sun.
She was taking a break from helping to bring the cows in so that the vet could do a routine check on them. She took us to see the calves who were born very recently.
They are rather sweet – pity they grow up to be so big!!
I enjoyed the sun but the rain started again later. I do hope this is not going to be another wet summer!
Hoots for now!
