Three Little Owl Owlets

[flossyplops]

I just found out this week that we have three owlets not two which is fab news. Such little characters to sit and watch, the last two pics are of the adult that's feeding the youngsters.

Lovely set, especially the boot one. The first shot with all the faces squashed together made me 'Awwww;

 

[cruso]

Stunning shots

 

[flossyplops]

Thankyou for taking the time to comment, the little ones do make you go Awwwww.... but they can look quite evil at time , lol, last night they were tug of war with a worm and it was all getting a bit heated

 

[den]

Out of interest Heidi how high up are they

 

[flossyplops]

They are only about waist high Den, quite low for a nest I'm told!

Love the shot on the boot, very different indeed, Looks like your having a tracking time photographing them

 

[Crazylegs]

Love the Boot and Owl shot!

 

[flossyplops]

Thanks Joe and Crazylegs, my son just happened to be chucking some old work boots out so I nabbed them

The picture of them all huddled in the tree is great, scary kind of looking! great pics, I came across a baby owl not sure what kind in the road a few weeks ago playing with its kill. took a few pics and disappeared as the mother was up in the tree watching over me!

Brilliant Heidi, really well done.

 

[flossyplops]

Thank you snooky and Dexster, there really isn't much room in the entrance now. Last years youngster didn't so much as fledge but actually fell out the hole, all caught overnight on my trail cam. Not long for these now I don't think.

First one is showing the classic environment and works well, not so keen on the boot one personally, i feel like i've seen these sat on every possible object and the "staged/set-up/baited image" has worn a bit thin now.
Super detail and sharpness on the eyes of the last one

Neil we all know this is aimed at me ,if anything is wearing a bit thin its your constant trolling and negative comments when it suits you,.Grow up ,their I have taken your bait and I risk a Bollocking from the Mods,but enough is enough

 

[new2me]

The first image made me chuckle

Some of the comments made me sad

And here we have a classic damned if we do, damned if we don't situation.
Was Neil's post aimed at Den?
On the face of it it would seem so,
due the the amount and type of little owl posts he makes.
(yes we know, and also it was the staff that suggested a "month by month" rather than multiple posts across the board)

But who knows it may just have been a throw-away comment aimed at every other little owl post / image,
ever posted.

What I do know is, I have no idea what the issue is between you both.
You do have the advantage over site staff in one respect.
You have an ignore button.
USE THE DAMN THING!

And stop spoiling other peoples threads with the bickering,
That means everyone!

OP sorry for the OT post.

No, he's obviously on my ignore and will be going straight back on, i would like him to do the same.

And that in it's self has lead to him having a "i'm top dog" attitude that the bird section is all about his ego.

You got this bit correct, it's called having a opinion

With pleasure

Apologies to Heidi for people throwing toys out of the pram and i hope the Mods will tidy the thread up ASAP.

Not at all, more so the bickering between so called adults.
We can only call it as we see it,
on the information given to us, available to us at any given time
None of us are mind readers.

Cool

There are far too many ego's in the bird section.

And everyone is entitled to one of those.
Its the bickering and snide remarks that spill over into other threads that p*** the staff off.
