Hi Will, I am using Ronseal Natural decking oil at the moment. It does turn the wood a bit yellow but pretty much anything will I believe.

 

Here is my offering of barn owl which is fighting me all the way grrrrrrrrrrr Still some way to go on it yet.

Barn owls don't hoot the screech and hiss

 

Probably was a tawny owl

My poor description but I bow to your greater knowledge! I also got a rocket from Mrs J, as she put it "if that's all you've got to moan about.... It could be a lot worse, at least it's not crack heads and aled up idiots shouting, singing and smashing cars!"

 

All very true! I'm thinking it must be this years brood, fledged and out of the nest, starting to establish individual hunting grounds? Definitely 3 individual hooters tonight and a screecher. Would that be the 1 adult and 3 babies?

Ah, I'm no expert, I just had the same problem as you when I was growing up. We had barn owls nesting in our barn and they used to make an awful racket!

Also sometimes from dusk into darkness you can hear tawnies hooting and if you can make a hooting noise they hoot back

I grew up in N wales and there were a lot of barn owls about, I kinda like the screeching

up here in scotland i havent seen any barn owls

the most common owl up here I believe is the teet owl

If its screeching it will be a little owl. If its twit twooing a pair of tawny owls. Barn owls you are very unlikely to hear.

Gr8 carving.
