LATEST: There were two 2009 owlets. They looked out of the box for the first time on 24/5/09 and left the box on 28/5/09 and 30/5/09. Apart from a brief glimpse of one of them on 7/6/09, we have not seen them since, although the parents continue to visit the box.Year |

We believe that there were 4 young in 2007; however, the owlets were quite mature when they fledged and were able to return to the nest box. As a result, we could not be sure that there was not a total of 3.
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.
