Lorton still visiting,looks promising
Latest update on the Lorton Meadows barn owl nest box 10 June 2022: All four owlets are doing well and have been seen wing exercising to tone up their muscles, the precursor to young birds taking flight. Their sub adult feathers are becoming more obvious now although two of the chicks are still quite downy. The owlets have not yet left the box even though you may not be seeing them. The box is bigger than the area covered by the camera and they are climbing into the tunnel to take advantage of the cooling draught. ***So that's where they disappeared to***
