Description: Monnow Bridge in Monmouth, Wales, was completed in about 1270 and is the only remaining medieval fortified bridge in Britain with a standing gate tower. It crosses the River Monnow and is now pedestrianized, a scheduled ancient monument, and a Grade I listed building. Both the bridge and the gatehouse were comprehensively repaired in the 1770s, and the building ceased to be used as a dwelling in the early 1800s, after which the pedestrian access was made through the turrets.

Description: This pair of little owls, Athene noctua, were nesting in the hollow of the tree. Setting up a tripod and remote, it was just a matter of time.
