Garden peaceful existence until the following spring. And with noise in mind, we arrived at the house to the sound of a bird shrieking from the neighbour’s garden, so it was over the fence to find out what it was only to find a juvenile woodpecker stuck deep in a thicket. It was making a piercing distress signal because it had been pursued into its thicket prison by some sort of raptor that was trying and failing to get him out. A flurry of big black wings and his potential attacker left the scene and the woodpecker was rescued to live another day. But the interesting thing was that we had no idea what sort of bird the woodpecker was about to fall victim to until the following day when, in the late afternoon, we saw him out hunting again – this time pursuing a blackbird through a birch thicket. He was flying low and we saw him long enough to identify him as a Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula); not something you see very often. So they are neither nocturnal nor crespular (hunting in the twilight) but are active in the day and they tend to remain within their breeding territory, which we were obviously in. We were surrounded by boreal forest, mixed coniferous and deciduous trees, perfect for this breed. These owls behave like a hawk but look like an owl, with a rounded body but with pointed wings like a falcon. To add to the picture their backs are mostly black, which was so distinctive when it wheeled away on our arrival, and they have a whitish breast marked with dark horizontal stripes. A fabulous creature. The tracks that you can follow for miles are lined with all manner of plants, so you need to take your time peering to left and right. Free sustenance is provided by the wild raspberries on the way. It was too early to see many butterflies but there were one or two lovely fritillaries Northern Hawk Owl (Surnia ulula) Enhance Do you need your shelter outdoor and living shade? space Bespoke design & build treehouses, playhouses and elevated platforms.
