🦉✨ Nest box TLC! Now’s a good time to clear-out Barn Owl boxes, but only once young owls have fully dispersed. Clear out old pellets/debris on a dry, calm day, remembering boxes can be used year-round for roosting. 💚🦉 www.barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owl-nes... #BarnOwls #NestBoxes

The video shows the five owlets sitting quietly together, waiting for night to fall and more food to arrive. The smallest fluffy Barn Owlet seems to have had a sudden growth spurt and towers above its siblings! However, this is simply a quirk of the camera lens. @barnowltrust.bsky.social ©TMBG
