Tawny Owl - A Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, UK
Please begin your 2011 posts here!
Ei minua varten tarvii keittää...
This box is located close to Horsemoor Hide and is being used by a pair of Tawny Owls. The box is decorated with wood to give the appearance of a tree hollow. The female is currently incubating two eggs, which are due to hatch on the 3rd of May, so keep your eyes peeled.
About 02:00 Am
About noon. - Mom is caring and chattering to Baby.

Hopefully have hatched today ..... Most Tawnies in the UK should be near fledging about now so I am wondering as she had only 2 eggs to start with if maybe this is a replacement clutch and that something went wrong on the first attempt
Very intresting to know that, robbo. Thanks for telling! Then it has to be like you said.
The baby hatched about 02:00, in my first (a bit bad) pic, he is peeking a little from under mom - i saw him and the tiny wings moving.
