In 2022, four Barn Owlets, deemed to be 3 females and 1 male (the youngest), successfully fledged.
Here they are at their ringing day on 7.7.22
Hopefully, the resident pair will successfully breed in the nest box again this season.

It was a very lucky snap, Kate! lol
He had left
Calling occasionally
Was he outside?
No, possibly not
She exited the box
She hadn't been back in very long. Just finished preening here
About to go out
Just checked the cam. Ooh, female with large prey. Don't know if it was delivered or she brought it into the box!

She's calling...
He arrived, immediate mating!
Was recording & turned it off just before he picked up the prey & left the box! Grrrrrrrrrr
And I missed the mating!!
I've edited in my pics, Wendy
Bless her, she looked shocked!
