    I have the worst timing, I never see anything. I’m glad there is a diligent team of people taking screenshots!

    This one looks really good!

    I’m glad to see the nest full of food, someone had commented they hadnt seen Mr Owl in a few days. I guess he’s just busy hunting non-stop.

      I saw a post on a different site this morning. They had 3 barn owl chicks a bit old than these guys but still very small and they said they were eating 15 mice a day between the 3 of them!
