26 & 27 July 2024 : Dry weather and some sun
The weather finaly broke and so had a trip up to see how the local Barn Owls were doing, and wasn’t disappointed. The nest was busy with two chicks looking like they are loosing their youthful fluff and are almost ready to fledge and leave the nest. In the meantime however, they are hungry and mum was out for a couple of hours each night looking for prey, and she was managing about one vole every 20 mins. Hunting was interupted for a while though as the farmer was cutting his grass in the fields so they returned to the other fields a long way off.
I will keep going back to hopefully see the chicks fledge
