I am sure during WWII very few British people would have known about those herbs and spices, and they would have been very hard to get hold of anyway.
Heard something odd up the woods overnight on Saturday/Sunday. A toowhit toowhit, repeated a lot of times. I know that is the call of one sex of tarny owl, but have only heard it repeated once in the past, so not sure if it is tawny, and can't find any other owl with that call. Also, we were rather late yesterday evening as one of the kilns went on a bit, and heard two pairs of tatwny owls making their presence known to each other.
Did a flora survey and found the wild angelica up. Also an unknown plant; think it was there last year too, but it has now developed a woody stem. Best guess is rowan, but not sure about it. |

i missed out the woodies, skinny ankles is still here, fat ankles is mia assumed fallen
there are assorted other random visitors, the wrens are the most regular but there are tits and finches about
the diks might have been chased from the village by the locals, they can be a bit abrasive
the magpies only pop by for a polite snack, messing with nests etc will get a large mixed flock on them, so they have a few mealworms if they need them
today i was up a hill for a while, the kestrels were nice to watch from fairly close, they were teaching the young one to hunt, they got tea in about an hour after a few missed tries
fun to watch, getting snaps might take a bit of practice |
