....some night vision goggles! Mummy owl is giving the babies flying lessons tonight. It seems one is reluctant to come out of the nest, but the other is perched on top of my chimney. Hope he doesn't slip!

How wonderful to know that those beautiful birds are so close. I hope all goes well with the young ones. I don't know much about owls.......Do they return to shelter in the nest....or is that it, ...The Big Wide World now? Gwyn
