It’s been very dry this week, so we have been filling the water pots on the hill. We’ve seen a couple of unusual creatures!
	
	
		
	
	
				
					
		
		
		
			
													This guy wrinkles his body up above the ground to show it's bigger. It was actually incredibly thirsty so we put some water into a bottle cap, which it happily drank from.
											 
		 
	 
 
	
	
				
					
		
		
		
			
													This is the Barking Owl. It's quieter and a little smaller than the Powerful Owl and is absolutely beautiful.
