  • We built a house using our bare hands for our adopted rescue European Eagle Owl, called Sherlock. We want to give him a safe, secure, and natural home to live out his years in captivity. Find out why we can't release him into the wild, whether we'll get him a mate, and why we offered him a safe place to live.

    I know what you're suffering Shaun, as my left knee has been the same as yours for the best part of a year now.
    But it has just started to heal and I can walk, without my stick, {but it's better with the stick !}.
    Got my Eagle eye on you two from now on !
    I would love to see more rambling in the forest !

    Cor blimey! I can't even hang a picture without it being a disaster! My only Owl story is once I was driving home along a back lane when I used to live in a more rural village than where I live now, and something in a tree to the right of me caught my eye. I slowed and opened my window to look! Three wise owls were looking back at me, perhaps more startled than I was to see them! It was one of those magic moments in life, absolutely beautiful to see! ( I have just heard the bit about owls being solitary! With my hand on my heart, three owls were on a couple of branches, just looking back at me! Maybe it was mating season, I do not know!)

    So good to see you in the virtual flesh again. I missed you! Great bit of educating about the owl--but I believe Colin could read the local phone directory and make it funny and interesting. Shaun, take care of that knee. (That particular injury happens to the best of us. You'll be fine.) You've accomplished an enormous amount this year. You definitely deserve a little rest. See you next week.

I do hope Shaun's damaged knee heals well and you are both able to continue enjoying your life in Scotland. Best wishes Derek.

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  Před 7 měsíci +3

      1. Chicks, mice, voles, rats, quail.
      2. Every day.
      3. No. The deer will eat them. Before you ask, to protect the veg would make it inefficient ;)
