17th June

I was suprised today to find the young Little Owl that I had seen last Wednesday climbing a tree was still safe and well. I didn't know if he had managed to get back to the tree with the nest and the other youngsters. I had not noticed any of the parents taking food into the tree and the thing that gave him away today, his calling.

This was my first view of the lonely youngster.

As you can see from these two pictures he looks fit and healthy, and possibly overweight. In fact in the picture below he is probably cold, being unable to shelter in a whole in this tree.



One of his parents has just brought in a worm.

The young grebes are growing steadily
