Having our yearly visit with a Boobook (Owl) He/she calls in for a few weeks in May or June. Probably lives nearby and does the rounds looking for a mate. Boobooks are happy to talk with humans. You only have to get close to their sound and they'll answer. "Boo-Book" with the second note dropped down a major third. Their call is rather like a Northern Hemispere Cuckoo. (Our Cuckoos don't sound like that.)

Magpies are starting to sing in the moonlight. They start their courting in the Winter. Cheers, Joy
