As predicted the tawny owls have left their nestbox. The first chick 'branched on Friday night with the second following the night after. These two owlets gave us beautiful views over the weekend and even a couple of hardened local birders uttered an 'aawhhh' and gave them a cute rating of 11/10!
The keen-eyed also spotted their evening meal their parents had stashed away in another tree for them nearby.
Tawny dinner!
The third chick however was a little more reluctant to leave the home...
But eventually they too branched on Monday night and all three have moved into deeper cover.
The kestrels are still incubating but their eggs should be hatching any day soon, probably while I'm on holiday!
