Our owls are nine weeks old!

25th July 2022

The four owlets in the Len Pick owl tower are already taking their first flights at night.

They return to the nest chamber during the daytime.

The weather has been kind and they have thrived on a diet of mice, voles and shrews.

We shall see less and less of them from now on.

They will eventually leave their natal area to find a home of their own.

The adults will remain nearby throughout the winter and roost in the box. Hopefully they will raise another family of owlets in 2023.

This year the webcam has received more than eleven thousand hits from thirty countries.
