Thanks all - I gave Will the web address of GoY so hopefully he will see your comments. Spritz - I don't know what time of year he took the picture, but leaves are still green so was perhaps summer - I'll ask Will but isn't it just a lovely picture ? wish I was lucky enough to capture a photo like this.

At my school, I used to invite a group who brought birds in for the children to meet - including a barn-owl. They got him to fly above the children's heads in the hall, so that we could all listen to his quiet wings! I have a photo somewhere of 'Whisper' sitting on my shoulder. :-)))
