Yesterday evening, CJ and Facey made a dash over the border into Blaenau Gwentshire to help Roo and Steve Carter induct a brace of baby Barn Owls into the ringing scheme. Not just any Barn Owls but the progeny of one of the highest breeding pairs in Wales. Barn Owls have been hit pretty hard by this year's "summer" but judging by the large stash of voles in the box this pair seems to be finding enough to feed what's left of their brood.

Yeah, they were a long way up. Steve Carter, nest finder
extraordinaire, holds the ladder while Facey shouts constructive
comments such as "Pellets! Don't forget some pellets! Pellets!"
