I read about an owl sanctuary that took in an young injured male owl and after it was released it would drop by semi-regularly with mice and shrews for the owls being cared for there

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Here,

'Prepare yourselves for a story of breath-taking perversity'
This is Piles Copse, the largest remaining fragment of high-ground temperate rainforest on Dartmoor. It’s a tiny speck of green in a dismal, human-made desert. Prepare yourselves for a story of breath...

Useful map within this article enabled me to confirm the blindingly obvious that St Leonards is Exeter's smoke hotpot. Some winter nights, it can be like stepping out into a Dickensian novel in my street. We have clean air legislation for a reason, it is time to strengthen and enforce it.

The first few bees have hatched - about a week or so earlier than usual. Probably due to the warmer weather.

Springtime in Exeter (Devon, UK), and the waiting game now starts for the solitary bees in my garden. It has been a fairly cold start to the year, so it could be another 3-4 weeks. I have a bit of an accommodation issue if they all hatch.

It's hard to believe this is happening. The Dartington Trust, here in South Devon, is behaving like Donald Trump: it seems to have no conception of the value it is destroying. This is its latest act of mindless vandalism. What the hell is going on?

Makes me feel old thinking about how long ago it was that I went to Leicester's old ground for that match. (And the matches after that, as we got to the quarters that season).

Another pre-match pint in the Bowling Green. This time, a pint of Salcombe "Belgica", a kind of malty Beligian style beer. Very drinkable, but at 5%, I couldn't have too many.

Very pleased to get one of these. Looks great, and I am a fan of

. Also, I once managed the Highways Agency's relationship with the service area operators, and it was one of the more enjoyable and unexpectedly interesting parts of the job.

The spectacular estuary is a haven for thousands of migrant birds each winter, and perfect to explore on foot and by boat

Always love swinging by the museum in Exeter to have a look at the Seaton Down Hoard display, which just so happened to be discovered by my Dad and his metal detector! 22888 Roman coins, the largest hoard found in Devon, and the third largest found in Britain!
