Went to the Albert Dock yesterday to see the 'Tall Ships'. Absolutely thousands there and the queue to get on the quayside was horrendous so we had a look from the distance and left!. Went inside the Town Hall which I have never ever been in before and it was magnificent....well worth a visit if you're in Liverpool..


News of the owls. Found another baby owl in distress. This time it was a baby barn owl which was not completely fledged. It had (fallen/flown/been pushed?)out of the owl box and didn't have the strength to get back up to it. It was all night on its own in the barn and was looking very distressed so we called in our local 'owl man' . He has taken it back to his sanctuary to feed it up and, once it is fully fledged, it will be released back into the wild.


Once all the baby owls have fledged and left the nest, we are going to fit a camera in the box so that visitors can see whats going on in there. Work will hopefully be starting soon on our 'hide'....will keep you posted.

Busy day today getting all three cottages ready for our 'golfing' visitors. Southport and all the surrounding areas are bedecked with 'OPEN' signs....its such a big event for the area.

Sadly we found one of the young 'Little Owls' had drowned in the Geese's water trough. Can only assume that it had been getting a drink and lost its balance! I suppose young owls are a bit like young humans.....very inquisitive, tend to go places they shouldn't and then get out of their depth!
