Baby owls!

Our lucky neighbours have spotted two baby barn owls hopping up and down on a branch outside the nest! I'm so pleased that the owlets have made it to fledging, and hope the weather lets up so that they're not permanently wet as they learn to fly. On the other hand, one small advantage of all the rain is that no-one has been able to cut their hay yet and there's plenty of owl-friendly long grass in the fields nearby.
