I was interested to hear that chicory is well-known by you. <BR/><BR/>Candice, there was a boys' camp area on Hawksdown but I think it's finished now. The Scout Camp is on the other side of the village, now revitalised after a couple of years disuse.<BR/><BR/>Do Little Owls mate for life? I don't know, but I'll be watching the stump with interest next year.Kingsdownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127225013640474483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-51463297396437692592008-07-17T19:35:00.000+01:002008-07-17T19:35:00.000+01:00You referred to the scout camp.

I think the shot of it flying over the field is interesting because you see how it stands out against that background. SteveR did a great joy with his photos. It's a pretty owl and so different from your Little Owls. That is so sad about the little owl parent. Hope the other stays safe. I've never been able to sort out Chicory and cornflowers. They look the same to me. I believe what I see on our roadsides is Chicory.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890796903959709429noreply@blogger.com
