As can be seen from the latest screen capture (below) things are progressing nicely with the Barn Owls where we have the camera in the box. She has now laid 3 eggs which in itself is brilliant news, but I want more!! I am hoping she can at least repeat last years achievement where she had a second clutch total of........seven eggs!!!.
I'll keep you updated of any significant developments with another post in a few days time, any guesses on how many eggs she will lay in this clutch??
Hey Paul, think of the poor parents! You don't want them knackered before the second brood! How would you like it if someone wished five more kids on you, however wonderful the first two might be! And you know that the weakest would only end up as fodder for their older siblings - Im talking about the owls, not your kids now!!
ReplyDeleteKeep us posted mate!
Yes you are quite right Richard, but we need a boost in their numbers after the bad winter took its toll. I'll keep you updated, no doubt about that.
DeleteFive! Thanks for your effort, as for her, stay healthy is more crucial. :-)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
Yes I would have guessed five Denise, but we were both wrong as she has laid four.
DeleteHi Paul, Just a quick congratulations on your photo of the week on birdguides what a cracker.
