The pair of barn owls that reside in The Old Willow Works, just over the road from Beckingham Marshes have bred again, just a few months after last year's late attempt.

The pair didn't attempt breeding until August of last year, but successfully reared three chicks, which fledged in late November.

This year's attempt was much earlier, with four eggs seen on the nest box camera monitor in mid-April .  Four eggs became six and I believe that we still have six well-grown young birds, five of which can be seen in the image below, which was taken of the camera monitor this week.
