Predator and prey
The coal tits are very messy feeders, discarding the seeds that they don't want . This is to the benefit of the voles below.
There is more than one vole, this one stashing seeds under the slabs outside the kitchen window.
At lunchtime, I went out to the back field to check on "my" owls.
This is the more nervous of the two. They have roosted in the same area for at least 3 years. One is quite brown in comparison to its greyish mate.
Photo taken from about 20m away, the other bird was unconcerned by my presence.
Still a few swallows overhead today and many 7 spot ladybirds.
