Thanks Marjorie and Nick. Nick guess what I will have to have a word! Its been a good career in the main but where have the years gone thats the frightening bit I still think I am only 40ish and I am sure child labour was not allowed LOL. Like all things now it is getting difficult as cost and demands rise while resources fall but eh oh thats why I need me birds and other wildlife!!

Hi Tom, don't tell me they haven't marked your long service in some way? That's dreadful! :-C
Yeah, it's scary when you try and work out where the years have gone, and i'm the same - i've started knocking a year off each birthday now!! I turned 52 the week the first chick hatched at LOTL, but as i posted on the blog at the time, i just tell folk i'm approaching late youth!! lol :-O

At last beat you this time Ann I saw it first tme roung see post 604

 

[Mad_BMS]

Oh well I see the mantling over the prey is here as well. Liked the one legged ballet while wing stretching the other was doing. Is all feeding now done on the ledge/roof rather than going in and out box?

The Brucies are still all leg and no head in their ever decreasing space.

 

[Cosworthlady]

ah i only seen it tonight for the first time. The wee one in the hole in the wall was a pathetic wee thing. I've got to let you win sometimes to keep you keen haha

 

[Cosworthlady]

are your 2 web cams totally off Tom. The box one is way behind the ledge i think so i'm missing the feeds.

 

[Mad_BMS]

Yeh at last a small flight with vole in mouth on to roof then off for some exercise. First flight I have seen but I am not lasting long enough as I hear Zebedee calling. Still 2 voles on ledge though so guess there has been plenty deliveries and we have 2 well fed owlets tonight.

 

[Mad_BMS]

Ann was it hiding behind the box and now came back on the roof then down onto beam.
Damn every time I come in here to tpyr and go back its disappeared again
Yes I think it is back in top left behind the box out of sight eating what I saw it carrying away.

 

[Mad_BMS]

This is better saw that drop off but parent certainly does not hang about!

they.re fantastic at hiding lol. Seen another owl too. Not sure if it was a parent. It flew under the box but not onto it. The 2 chicks weren't very excited so thats what made me think it was maybe from another barn. That was another food drop.

Beat you to drop yipee! I did think I saw something fly down past box but as the chick on view was not particularly excited thought it might have been something else did not realise you got other owls passing Ah decided to dine inside I see. Anyway enough siad i was going to bed half an hour ago! Night.

Edit Oops now second one off for a fly about! Must be my imagination the other is still hidden in that corner. Think they are both flying.

i'm sure i read in last years diary that they had visitors too. I think these two are a bit behind in the growing up and other owlets nearby may be more advanced.

 

[Cosworthlady]

what a noise!! Another food drop.

 

[Cosworthlady]

well i'm rattling about like a pea in a tin can and i can hear an echo echo echo echo echo so i'm going to my bed. Night.
