In reply to scylla:
Very good effort by Owlet once Mama had prepared the frog:
IMAGICAT
Little Owlet has started travelling
(Thumbnails not working on YT at the mo but this plays fine.)
Owlet goes into defence mode like a grown-up - we could see the threat on any of the 3 cams but heard an Osprey chippikng:
Anotther close-up and the first meal of the evening delivered:
The second meal was a Squirrel. I can't remember when I last saw Dad, can't find him since 04 March morning but maybe I missed him.
Scylla, on the Landings Bird Cam - Savannah Fb page 6 hours ago, someone asked if dad was helping out. Landings BC replied 5 hours ago 'Yes, at 19:05 yesterday evening'.
Fab videos, thank you :)
Owlet has long legs! No prey during the evening, still not seen Dad, we await further developments.
I've got bogged down with other things but I can say that, after a scary drought of parents and prey for nearly EIGHT hours, Owlet got fed - big frog from Mama and rat from Dad !!!

Got my knickers in a twist there - it wasn't nearly that bad. But both Mama and Dad did deliver, Dad first
OMG !!! I hope this wasn't Dad that she brought in for dindins It was a very large bird but I couldn't see a head and can't ID it from the feathers.
