Episode notes
Spring Wildlife Around The House
- The hosts describe spring in the countryside with many animals having young nearby.
- They highlight birds as the ones they see daily, especially chicks in nests close to the house.
Barn Owls And Blue Tit Nest Box
- The hosts mention hearing barn owls at night but never seeing them because they nest in the empty house next door.
- Richard built a nest box used yearly by blue tits, so they reliably see chicks there.
Wrens, Foxes, And Hidden Dens
- Wrens nested in ivy near the door and usually have many babies according to the hosts.
- They also have foxes nearby but have never seen cubs because foxes use dens out of sight.
