Catch up on last recorded footage yesterday (before the power cut!!)
Hope these TWO do not smother Third..
That one is quite teeny by comparison
Can't be 100% sure but think I just saw FOUR ... wonder if my vid was hatch#4 not destruction of egg as I first thought & Mrs SD was eating yolk residue ? ? ? That would explain size of teeny one!
Confirmation of FOUR owlets ... can you see them?
Wendy, I would agree with four. Ian
PS - just had a look at Lorton Meadows, chicks there are both looking very good.
Lorton Meadows ... just like Mum!
Just had a quick look in to the box with only the chicks in view. Numbers 1,2 & 3 look healthy (although 1 & 2 looked like they were trying to squash 3!) but chick 4 doesn't look great to my untrained eye. Ian
EDIT - Mum is back in the box.
Lorton Meadows.I thought someone zoomed in till I realised twas chicks fledging.doh!!
