I've been looking in a bit more today, only seen three owlets. I am sure the fourth is there somewhere. Ian

I don't think so Ian, I believe it perished during the night after you mentioned it was very weak! Sad

Thanks Wendy, it did look poorly the other day, so it maybe shouldn't be a surprise. It would be good if the remaining three remain healthy. Ian

Sadly only three but these two bullies keep crowding number three doh! 

Mum just drops the feed and preens.

#3 looks a lot stronger & safer today than yesterday when I feared the worst ... just hope food is plentiful during this latest bout of bad weather!

A few scaps this morning (Incidentally did see Mum in Box yesterday)

Moved down from the top end of box to show there are still three survivors ... Hope food easier to find now weather has improved!

Here's the vid ...

Awh!!!not burying head so much, and beginning to grow

Sunday afternoon, largest chick lying flat on his/her back. It is breathing but I don't think it looks well. Ian

EDIT - largest one is now back on its feet, number two now on the deck. Presumably OK.
