My first early morning session in the hide, moving location to avoid cattle in the main field. A rather large Bull finally convinced me to move! Just got a few shots and a short video of what I believe is the female.

Following a chat with the farmer he gave me permission to set my hide now and then so another evening session resulted in confirmation that three owlets were present; great news. I managed to get a few shots of an owlet being fed and also recorded a few videos. I am putting together a short film in the future so keep an eye on the blog.

Wonderful news that my Green Moor Little Owls are back with at least two, possibly three owlets. I spent an evening in position just by chance and got a few nice sunset images of one of the adults hunting from the usual trailer.

An early morning visit and only adults to be seen. Sparky now gone so I am assuming both owlets have just dispersed to another location. I hope they have survived.

Another early start and still no sign of the larger owlet. Sparky appeared and just settled down for a doze in the morning sunshine.

Although the weather was mixed with a few heavy showers an afternoon session (1.00-3.30pm) paid off when I got some distant video footage of an adult taking a shower. The other adult was nearby on an adjacent wall and Sparky showed on the cattle trailer for a while. I was concerned as Lazy didn't make an appearance at all I fingers crossed he/she didn't encounter the farm cat again!

Only a few distant shots but the owlets still showing some tender family moments....aahhhh. note the size difference here with Sparky left and Lazy right. Sparky has slightly darker chest and flank markings.

More of the Owls as I spend a few hours in camo on bright mornings before work. This time both owlets were right in front of me on the cattle trailer. Note that "Lazy" is the larger of the two owlets, a little more upright/boxy and plainer plumage on the chest, his/her expression is a bit glum.
