Sit on
the veranda at your cabin and watch the birds. We try to keep
the bird feeders full - but at times it hard work. In the summer
listen for the cuckoos in the woods, watch for buzzards soaring in the late
afternoon and all year round there are lots of owls at night. Recent
visitors have seen our nuthatches at the feeders too. |
