I keep watching one scurrying across the lanes, I can't believe it hasn't been picked off yet. Miles GDave,

Like you said, it's so good to be uplifted by stories like this when there's so much else in life trying to do the opposite. A 350% increase in numbers over just a couple of decades is very impressive indeed. I bet the county's voles are delighted. :) GDave Miles,

I was quite alarmed some time ago when a television programme pointed out the decrease in old barns and outbuildings and the lack of nesting sites left available to the barn owls. There is much more awareness now of the importance to protect our wildlife. The good work done should be reported more often and thank you for telling us about ithe achievements in Lincolnshire.

It's great news to hear of the numbers and efforts being made. Interestingly today, whilst talking of Buzzards, somebody told me how they'd once seen a snowy owl here in Lincolnshire ! ! It was a few years ago but non-the-less ! Cheers Rod Miles,
