Barn Owl - A Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, UK
Some days I've been watching the tail and the faces of momowl.Today had luck: Saw several minutes baby owlets during mom was refreshing outside.
Mom came with a prey at midnight 11 June 2011. This looked and made me a little sad. The chicks doesn't looked happy... (I wonder, how soon mom began to prey... is there not been enough to feed?
It's about noon, the chicks alone at the nest.
Ihanasti lepäilevät pikku pöllöt Kuvissasi Annie
Olin minäkin iloinen, nähdessäni poikasten olevan tyytyväisen oloisina pesällä. Myöhemmin tulin tilanteeseen, missä ehkä oli ruokailu loppumassa, sillä senkin jälkeen poikaset vaikuttivat tyytyväisiltä. Sitten emo erkani johonkin puuhaan pesän seinustalle, mistä en saanut selvää, palasi joksikin aikaa poikasten luo ja lähti.
Yllättävää ja mielenkiintoista oli, ettei emo pyrkinyt ottamaan poikasia yhtään suojiinsa, ja poikasetkin tottuneen oloisesti kävivät nojaamaan emon kylkeen - ja enemmän vielä toisiinsa. Isoin poikanen tuntuu kantavan huolta pienemmistään. Tuota olen muissakin tornipöllöpesueissa nähnyt.
Jos tämä viimeinen kuva (tämä kamera löytyy lehtopöllökameran kohdalta) on pöllökodin ulkopuolelta, ei emo poistunut ulos, vaan voorportaaliin.

Update
11/07/11 - Today the Barn Owl Trust have ringed, weighed and measured the Owlets. They discovered that we have two females and one male.
Update
14/07/11 - As you can see the box looks empty but all three Owlets are there. They are currently hiding in the corridor as this is where all the food is delivered!
Barn siblings! Think I saw all three this morning.
The oldiest one was exercising flying skill.

Waiting for a prey from Mom and Dad.
Hey, here are flown already!
I guess, this might be the middle one. How carefully and systematically it is preparing to fly!
The last picture, it had flown higher, out of the picture, perhaps on top of a roof chair.
