The first barn owl egg has hatched, 33 days after it it was laid, and the hatchling is doing well so far. The next egg should hopefully hatch in a couple of days. The female may even lay another egg too (but that would be unusual). We’ll keep you posted!
The male was out early this evening, an hour before dusk. He now has a growing family to feed so needs to get started early.
A day later and another egg has appeared; the eggs are hatching as more are being laid. Very odd!
One hatchling, four eggs (and five field voles!)
