THE SLEEPING SQUIRREL

AS I WAITED FOR SOME WILDLIFE TO ARRIVE THIS LITTE RED SQUIRREL APPEARED AND BEGAN TO EAT HAZELNUTS ON THE FOREST FLOOR AND AFTER SOME TIME WHEN HE HAD ENOUGH HE CLIMBED A BEECH TREE AND SLOWLY CREPT OUT ON TO THE BRANCH AND MADE HIMSELF COMFORTABLE TAKING IN THE WARM SUN HE BLISSFULLY FELL ASLEEP ,A MAGICAL SCENE TO WATCH.

THE SLEEPY BARN OWL

I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WITNESSING A NEST OF BARN OWLS DURING THE SUMMER OF 2024 AN EXPERIENCE I WONT FORGET OF A TRULY MYTHICAL LOOKING CREATURE.THE MALES ARE KNOWN COME UP EARLY IN THE EVENING AND SIT DOZING AT THE NEST HOLE.AS THE MALE PROVIDES FOR HIMSELF AND THE FEMALE DURING INCUBATION HE MUST BE TIRED.I MANAGED TO CAPTURE THIS IMAGE OF HIM CLOSING HIS EYES SNOOZING.

OTTERS
