Another visit to Somerset wildlife trust's Blackdown Hills Barn Owl pair, Finn & Trude, she has been in box all night & day, wonder if on egg/s?

Saw her shuffle around early this morning & reveal two eggs!
Blackdown Hills, Somerset, Finn & Trude
Still two eggs
Male at Lorton Meadows ignoring females calls, no eggs there yet!!
Three eggs now for Finn & Trude
Early this morning it became obvious the barn owls have a final clutch size of four eggsThere will now be a quiet month whilst we await the hatching of the chicks in early July.The female will incubate these eggs night and day. The male will be responsible for bringing her food every night.The weather will play a big part in how successful he is. Not too many wet and windy nights would be good
