(C) Dorset Wildlife Trust Lorton Meadows Barn Owls combined with (C) Len Pick Trust Barn Owl Project 2022

Morning Mike.

Did a quick scroll back, and caught him in for about10 mins..5.50.

Both in again, with a lovely greeting

Hopeful indications at last

We are pleased (and also slightly relieved!) to see that both Barn Owls now appear to have taken up permanent residence in the tower having evicted the errant interloping pigeon(s). We now await the first egg. It could be soon or it could be another three or four weeks.

Unfortunately, the now camera is only feeding colour images intermittently, this is because of differing ambient lighting conditions which are failing to trigger the camera into colour mode. Sadly, We are unable to alter the feed until the end of the nesting season as this requires adjustment within the actual nest box itself which would, of course, disturb the owls and in turn fall foul of the Wildlife & Countryside Act. After a somewhat fraught time installing the new technology, we are obviously somewhat disappointed at this slight setback but hope you enjoy the pictures during the season.

On the webpage you will have noted the Flag counter. Did you know if you haver your mouse over the flags and right click on "open link in new window" you will see all the statistics relating to number of viewers and their different countries?

On Friday evening the female laid her first egg of the 2022 season.
Our new camera system doesn't allow us to be precise about the timings of egg laying.
The second egg should be visible sometime on Monday morning.
The weather has been good and there seems to be plenty of prey available.
