Chick Update

The Barn Owl chicks are very close to fledging, the 2 older ones in particular just look like tatty adults now!  We shall be ringing them tomorrow morning all being well so keep an eye out for pictures of that.  As you can imagine it's getting very cramped in there, especially when the chicks are testing their wings, so the adults now spend what little time they have not hunting in the second box nearby.

The Great tit is also doing well, the female spends nearly all of her time sitting on the eggs only leaving for 10-15 minutes a few times a day.  The 6 eggs are due to hatch within the week now
