Barn Owl Cam

The parents are doing really well fetching food in as long as there's plenty of food all three should be OK. The problems start if the food supply drops. The stongest will get the most of it
WS

The cams not working tonight so no Pics sorry
WS

Thats a shame WS, I will try and have a look in later this evening to see how they are all doing.

Just checked on the owls and I can only see two, one on the ground and one in the opening, after the cam being down yesterday evening, I am worried something has happened to Tennis Ball the smallest one, if anyone else spots him it would make me very happy.



littlewid-x-

It's OK LW there are three two in the Box and one up at the entrance although I'm not sure who's who


WS

What a relief i thought Tennis Ball might have been a snack for Beach Ball

Lai

That was my worry Lai and I went to bed quite worried last night, i'm so pleased Tennis ball is ok.....a sigh of relief has been breathed

littlewid-x-

Can we have our Balls back please

WS

Thank You
There in, and out like Yoyos tonight


WS

good one WS

Lai

I think this is Beachball ?, but not sure

When I looked again Tennisball, had arrived as well

Now I'm not sure if its Football, and Tennisball

As it gets closer to the Cam it seems to double in size
WS

as long as we still have 3

Lai

Not sure whose on stage tonight, they wont show there faces


WS

They are certainly getting braver WS with popping in and out and they are growing. Loving the pics and comments I reckon we will miss these three cheeky balls when they fledge.
littlewid-x-

Your right LW they are a lot braver now, although the box is empty they havent fledged yet they are still to young, but it's getting difficult to catch them unless you keep watching for ages
WS

thanks for letting us know WS

Lai

Today:

I only see two?

Will check tonight SM, but one could be outside
WS

In your pic from earlier to day WS, I'm sure there is one chick on the ledge. I've just had a peek and im sure at forstthere were 3 but by the time I got the MWsnap up there were only two, but mind you there was alot of wing flapping and a bit of bickering going on, they are definiately growing up and fighting for space.
Hopefully we will be back to 3 later.

I'm afraid it's not good news Guys this is a pic from outside the Nest Box, and inside the Nest Box taken at the same time. There are only two, I would guess that one has fallen from the beam they are sitting on.



WS

Thats so sad WS and it looks as if it may have been Tennis Ball that has fallen, I feel quite upset as they were all doing so well and you hope that for once all the chicks are going to be ok, I pray that Beach Ball and Foot Ball stay well, poor little Tennis Ball

littlewid-x-

Just checked in on these two WS and going on the size of them it was definiately Tennis Ball that has been lost, these two are surley Beach Ball and Foot ball. They were very noisy as usual and having a little scrap too, I am wondering if they picked on Tennis Ball, he was always the quieter one and seemed to get caught in the middle of these two.

littlewid-x-

Yes I think your right LW, although he was the smallest they did'nt really seem to pick him I think he was just knocked off the beam it's narrow, and if he was out, and one of the others came out of the box it could have happened
WS

Whatever happened to him it's a shame WS, he was my favourite as he was smaller and appeared more vulnerable, lets just hope the other two do well which I think they will looking at the size of them.
littlewid-x-

Tis sad to lose any of them, but they were doing so well. I hope the others stay safe!
