Greetings from Lincolnshire

[ctabuk]

Hi everyone, my real name is David, my wife Leslie (yes the boys way ) and I live out in the Fens of Lincolnshire, I'm an RSPB member and do some reports on migratory birds. We have two ponds, a dyke with the normal Moorhens, but occassionally Swans nest and rear their young there. We get Mallards on the ponds, you can always tell by the oil traces on the surface. The Herons visit, but they are too deep for wading. We have a resident Marsh Harrier and a Sparrow Hawk who seems to love our trees and nooks and crannies. Being surrounded by fields means we get to see the numbers of visitors, the first House Martins are in, the number of Hares are up this year, after a long decline.
I'm mostly into Owls and have done a few rescues, I just wish people would release their home bred owls at dusk, any other Owlers out there?
