Parkinson&#8217;s Park in Guiseley. It was quiet in terms of wildlife but I might head back there in a week or two when I would expect to see more butterflies. On the way back to Netherfield Car Park from Parkinson&#8217;s Park I spotted the owl on the edge of a house roof. I don&#8217;t know if it is a disguised video camera or there to scare away other birds and rodents or purely decorative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped
