Video of the four barn owlets

07. May 2026 - Wildlife

Four barn owlets in nestbox, with female owl and two more eggs

The female barn owl stepped aside for a stretch a few times today, allowing us a better view of the four barn owlets.

On the video (on youTube) you can see the wriggling of the pink blobby owlets.

Besides the two eggs yet to hatch you can also see some egg-shell fragments which are from yesterday's hatching.
