Barn Owls - 19th July 2023

 Today we visited a barn that had a really high box. Much too high for a ladder, so we had a little help from the gentleman who had built the box as a teleporter was arranged for Chris to access the box. We were appreciative of the care taken, in the construction of this box, to ensure that chicks were unable to get out of the entrance hole until developed enough to avoid falling from the box platform. There was also an access hatch for ease of checking and clearing out.

Chris teleports up.

One of two surviving owlets. The remains of a third was in the box.

The chicks are returned after ringing.

Total: 2
