Suspicious activity confirmed. Wednesday 4th October 2017

Wednesday, as we all know is volunteers day, so it was that I was joined by Brian, the others having other commitments.

We completed jobs that have been on the list for a while plus a job forced on us by laziness on the part of a third party!!!

No Parking message reinforced at the barrier, and an extra barrier put in place.





We also linseed oiled the "snaths" for the scythes which was quite satisfying, another job ticked off.

Now to the suspicious activity, a few days ago I found a Wood Mouse corpse in the information shelter, behind a seat, it had been bitten through the head... also a few "splashes" of white on the outside of the building. Then yesterday I found an Owl pellet in the shelter! and more splashes. A carefully positioned trail camera and my suspicious were confirmed, one or more, Barn Owls visiting the shelter at night.

Barn Owl Pellet, I will dissect it and see what's been eaten
