Great to spend time with a local farm cluster 🦉🌾 Lots of interest in helping barn owls, improving habitat and putting up more boxes. And the result? A load more boxes going up! 🎉 More habitat, more boxes, more opportunities for owls. Full steam ahead! 💚🦉 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

This evening 15 adult Pale-bellied Brent Geese touched down at Ness Point, Lowestoft. They could not be any further east & were completely un-phased as they fed as the tide pushed them ever closer to us.
