Starting from number one there are five new photographs on the Photo Page.
I have recently come back from a stay in Wales and while I was there I visited Powis Castle and the lovely gardens they have there and took some pictures that you might like to post on the website.Bec
The Northern Light webcam can now be accessed. The camera need adjusting to the front of the camera housing. That will make a wider angle and get rid of the circle frame. I don’t think that it will be until next week until that is done. The webcam will also need to be restarted every 10 to 15 minutes. The thumbnail to access the webcam needs to have some text put onto it. Today is meant to be the first day that the light may be able to be seen so I have made it available before it is completely finished. The Northern Lights do not happen every night. There is a Northern Lights link at the top of the page that will give you more details. The Hotel manager is out today. When he is next in I will speak to him for information for he has a good knowledge of the Lights.
The two Barn Owls returned last night and should do for a few night. We will keep putting their feed into the aviary until they stop coming back. We will then know that they are finding food for themselves. When their feed was taken up this evening you could here that they were excited that it was coming. I should think that this is the first time that it has been possible to see a live Barn Owl release. I must admit I thought that they would have stayed close to the aviary for the first couple of nights, but I think that they must have left the area within an hour of the top of the aviary being opened. I did record it last night and see what time they returned. I will go between the Badgers and the Barn Owls with the webcam as I did last night, concentrating mainly on the Owls.
