Lovely views of Aluco on the platform, just before dark. She hunts most of the night & is now being kept awake most of the day with wiggly owlets. It makes you appreciate what these individuals go through, to raise their young successfully.

A treat to capture this buzzard appearing at the woodland waterhole. I think it is watching out for rats which pop out under the feeder.

The tawny triplets are looking fab! Bailly, little Bliss and Bayer are starting to get their feathers and becoming more active and mobile.... what a privilege to watch & learn about their lives. Watch them live on my website.

This beautiful vixen just visited the feeding station. It's a bit early for the food to be out yet, but she is feeding cubs and she is looking for an easy meal!! Come on, Dwynwen Jones ... she was looking for you! 😂🦊 BirdsyTV

In the last few days, Strix has been making daytime rat deliveries! I think the rats are active under the feeders, so he is taking advantage! It means the owlets are having extra meals during the day, which is brill!

Little Bliss gets fed when the larger, more dominant owlets have eaten their fill. Sadly, Bliss is too small to tackle such a meal alone, so has to wait for Aluco to return.....

When I am on site at , I can move the camera around and zoom in. Some lovely views of the owlets today. Poor Aluco does not get much sleep. Soon, she will leave them in the day, to roost quietly nearby and get some sleep! She needs to hunt at night.....
