Isn't this both tragic and sweet?Richard Havers writes of the owl saga:
Two have died. Both were on the ground having left the nest. Owls have their young at different times so these were the first born. The good news is we still have two left, one is out the nest and the other is still in it.
According to the local gamekeeper it seems like they've not had enough food and that's why the older birds have died.
Mrs. H. read up that if the owlets fall out the nest they're a goner as the parents stop feeding them, which is obviously why it was trying to get back....
Do pop over and read the rest of it ... and once you're done there, you might like to get abreast of the news about the bees, from Liz Hinds. Or even wish Ellee happy birthday. If you're hungry after all that, join us here. Or at the Crystal Ark, at Granville Island. And as evening falls, you could do worse than take this in.
Have a lovely Friday.
James, it's also a tad stressful! There is something very special about watching nature up close. It's also a huge privilege to live somewhere that makes it so accessible.
ReplyDeleteThank You :-)
ReplyDeletePoor things, lets hope it survives! That picture is just adorable!
A sort of blog focus, missing from these parts for quite a while. All well worth a visit and thanks for including the Crystal Ark.
ReplyDeleteWe've all been wondering about the bees up here...it is a bit of a concern. I've seen hardly any in my garden this year so far.
ReplyDeleteThough I was pleased to see not one, but two honey bees buzzing about my flowers earlier on today.
Yes, Bunny - the whole unbalancing of the ecology is a worry. Richard - it certainly must be lovely. Cherie ' yes. JMB - it sort of became a Focus in the end.
