The wildlife at Othona

The wildlife at Othona is brilliant, and by wildlife I don't mean the party scene or nightlife. Because we are right on the sea's edge, we have a number of different species of wading birds within a hundred yards or so. But closer still, coming into the Othona grounds we have rabbits and hares (I've never seen hares this close to before), and all kinds of birds that I don't normally see in my garden at home. We have mistle thrushes and a whole throng of swallows (all right, I know that the collective noun for swallows is a flight of swallows). I'll try and post some photos that I've taken when I get better internet access.

Apparently there are badgers as well, but I haven't seen any of those as yet.
