I see a far greater quantity of birdlife back at my family home than I do in my student home, which is surprising as it's far more rural in my current location! Down south, we get visits from a greater spotted woodpecker, and I see red kites over the farmland relatively often. Jackdaws prevail here! My favourite visitors are amongst the mammals - muntjac deer and the local foxes.

Back in Lancs, I've seen at least three species of owl in the past year's worth of visits - tawny, barn, and I think a short-eared owl passing through.
