Barn Owls update

Just a very brief note to say that we think that at least one of the Barn Owl chicks returned on Tuesday night and took all of the food left in the Owl box. A very good sign indeed. My suspicion is that they are still together and will remain in the local area until they become more established. The weather here has been very wet for the last couple of days and isn't ideal for young, inexperienced birds learning to hunt so we are leaving out larger than usual portions for the next few days. Fingers crossed for drier weather in the coming week.
