Last night both Tawny Owl chicks left the nest, around 28 days from hatching.  In this clip you can see the first chicks exploring the possibilities.  He tried to climb up from the end of the perch, but there was nowhere to go!  He ended up falling in the bush  he landed safely though, as we have film of him climbing back up during the night.  But by morning he was gone.

During the clip you can see the second chick excercising in the background.  he also quit the nest during the night.

Come the morning there was only one chick visible on the ground, and he was heading for the Barn Owl barn, so Greg redirected him in the opposite direction!  By 09.00hrs this morning, he has also disappeared.  Hopefully mum knows where to find them!

Spread the love
