More Tawny Owls

One of the Owl Boxes

Monday 3rd May saw us doing the rounds and checking some more Owl boxes. This resulted in 2 broods of 2 and 2 broods of 3 being found, one brood of 3 being ready to ring. The other broods were about 6/7 day's old.

Cute Tawnies

The ringed brood averaged about the same size as the one's on Saturday, fortunately the land owner and his daughter were able to attend the ringing and were delighted to see the chicks.
Gary's camera was again deployed with great effect.

On the journey 6 Red Deer  crossed the road in front of us, 2 of them being young stags in 'velvet'.
