We were thrilled to discover that the first egg had been laid in the nest box during the night of 25 March. This means that the female tawny owl, which had been spotted in the nest for several days now, will most likely settle here to breed!
We are now eagerly awaiting the coming days: will there be more eggs? When will the tawny owl start incubating the eggs? Will we be able to catch a glimpse of her mate as well? It’s important to note that, with owls, incubation usually only begins once a certain number of eggs have been laid, and is carried out solely by the female, who keeps a close watch over the eggs. The male only joins in during breaks from brooding or to bring food. So it will be some time yet before we can see any tawny owl chicks, and we’re all keeping our fingers crossed until then!
You can follow the live stream on our news page or – along with the time-lapse and the best snaps so far – watch it here.
