An unexpected call….

Tonight I collected Dominic after work and we headed back out to Sidlesham, David had messaged to say he thought there were Tawny Owlets in one of the other boxes on the Dairy Farm.

We followed him over to a part of the farm I had not seen before and sure enough when I clambered up the ladder there were two little faces staring at me from the back of the box.

The box is from https://owlandkestrel.co.uk/tawny-owl-nestbox/

The owlets were ringed and safely put back in their box ready for the adults to come in later with food.
