I love owls I think they're beautiful.
There's a wild one that lives in our shed. He keeps the mice and rats under control, so as far as I'm concerned, they're great.

No surprising things in my backyard though. Just grass and trees and flowers.

well this fellow is certainly beautiful . . .
and I've not seen him before. We have seen bats at night, but they don't inspire quite the same reaction as this little bird did.
It's not possible to see the background in this photo, but our backyard borders a large playing field for one of the posh private schools, with a large lake on site too, so we all sorts of wildlife coming 'round to say hello...
