Outside the cancerous city spreads

Like an illness

It′s symptoms

In cars that cruise to inevitable destinations

Tailed by the silent spotlights

Of society created paranoia

I go and see this every summer, there is a place in Weymouth where these beauties sleep in a roost, loads of them together just hanging in the long grass, a real magical sight to see.

I have added some more pics below I hope the are viewable

Most of the Northern Saw-whet Owls that were seen in western New York this winter and spring have moved on to their Canadian breeding grounds. A few local resident owls remain, but they tend to breed in our more mountainous regions. There and in Canada, these small owls have found abandoned pileated woodpecker and northern flicker tree holes and they are rearing their young, who will next year be able to join them on their annual migrations. Before that, though, there are many tiny mouths to feed, and many an insect and mouse to catch. So get your rest while you can, little one!

Puppies - like toddlers - intermingle bursts of activity with (longer) periods of sleep. Tilting screen comes handy sometimes...

Old railway sleepers, probably from the trackbed of the old Dungeness Branchline on the right, make shadows at Dungeness. The site of the old station is a little way behind the photograph. The Lydd Railway Company built a line to New Romney in the late 1800s with a short stub to Dungeness. The Southern taking it over later. But the holiday traffic never really materialised and the hoped for cross channel ferry service here never happened. Freight to Dungeness for the Admiralty and Coastguard Stations here were not enough. The line up the coast to New Romney lasted until 1967, post Beeching. But this stub to Dungeness closed to passengers in 1937 and completely in the 50s. One short stretch remains however from Appledore to a site in the distance to take away spent nuclear fuel from the power station here.
