LATEST

On 2/6/11, we saw the first two 2011 owlets looking out of the nest box and on 10/6/11, one of these left the nest. Owlets 2 and 3 left on 20/6/11. Keep an eye on the box if you wish to see the remaining owlet.

Swallows' nest

Early in 2010, I set up a camera which recorded images throughout the nesting cycle of a pair of swallows. I have arranged the images as a slide show, which starts with the female swallow examining the nest site, shows the growth of the young swallows, and ends with the chicks leaving the nest for the final time. Click here to go to the swallow page, which gives more detail, and to see the pictures (of which there are 20,227).

Little owl nest box: Nesting history

The first 5 of the 2010 owlets can be seen in the picture below.

The parent owls roost in the nest box throughout the year except when they have young in the box, or to feed. You may often see them (by looking at the Recent picture updates page) on the nest box during the day when the weather is fine.
