At first look I thought something awful had happened to our owl, but all is well, he is just lying in a funny way but his head has moved and he is fine, just a strange position



littlewid-x-

that is a very cool video

I think so to PPH. He does lye in funnt positions LW. looks really cramped up
WS

That is a fantastic clip and the clarity/quality of the owl superb. Those talon are lethal! Thanks WS.

SM

That was amazing!! I can't believe how clear that was!! Wonderful.

Just know the feeling I cant help watching it over, and over again
WS

Does'nt look as frightening here more cute, and cuddly. I wonder how long before the eggs hatch


WS

Ah thats a better position than I caught him in yesterday WS, much clearer of him. Mmmmm I wonder when the eggs are due to hatch? we will have to keep watching for the little balls of fluff

He looks quite comfy tonight as well


WS

Oh that is a gorgeous photo of him tonight WS, you can see his little face so clearly, he is adorable and he does look very comfy tonight.

A bit more light this morning


WS

Great picture from this morning WS. I've just had a look in and he was doing a lot of preening underneath, at first I thought the eggs had hatched but then I saw the glimpse of an egg, so not yet.
Heres a couple of pics of him from just now.

She is beautiful and great to see they returned this year. Hopefully we will get good news of the brood having hatched.

SM

WS what an amazing clip - the look of concentration, quite scary

Heres our Owl this morning. The eggs are supposed to hatch between the 2nd - 6th October, so they may have hatched. We need to keep checking to see if they have. This morning he is still just sitting there and hasn't moved for me to check.


littlewid-x-

Thanks for checking, very bright and early Littlewid

I must remember to check .......... :!:

At least one, if not two of the eggs hatched last night, it was to late to post. I could see at least one chick moving, and the top half of an egg. As we know with Owls the eggs hatch sometime apart to give the first one the best chance of survival. So watch this space.

The Owl came in to brood
