Gylfie & Dryer

Barn owls Gylfie & Dryer are now in their second season together and have chosen to bring their new family up in my Ash Stump nest box. This nest box used to be a favourite of the kestrels, Mr & Mrs Kes, but last year Gylfie and Dryer did attempt a very late brood here. Sadly the eggs didn’t hatch, but now they’ve chosen the box again.

More eggs expected

Barn owls normally lay every other day so keep your eye on my nest camera livestream to see how many she lays: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLx09JDaWUEFM-u8Q8V11cI1Ghk_-byaPM
