went to check on the Barn Owls at work earlier, all 4 chicks were out of the box and flying (clumsily) around the open barn.
youngest with just a small amount of down spent most of the time flapping around a very spikey bit of farm machinery :eek!: but was able to make short flights.
plenty of places to keep them well off the ground so keeping everything crossed they'll be safe for a few more days.
at one point dad arrived with a vole and had 5 Barn Owls sat within a few yards of each other! wonderful sight o o o
4 is the most successful nest we've had here, am sure the good weather has helped, hoping for a second brood.
