SWR Uhu Webcam (Germany, Eifel)

Michi, they slowed the stream down right when ringing began, so it wasn´t possible to take a video, it was even worse watching it live.

Probably SWR will provide an "official" video from the ringing event.

[Yoko]

Great prey ! What is this?

[Bea]

Oh, what a surprise - it seems that VLC took my video, not in the best quality, but absolutely showable

I will post it as soon as possible, first have to watch it complete.

Ringing event video, quality not best and a bit choppy, but better than nothing
I couldn´t watch it via VLC, because stream was ugly, but VLC recorded it better than showing it to me.



Prey: Stefan said it is a rabbit with about 3,8 kilo

Owlets "alive" again after ringing event, one of them taking a walk along the rockwall

Thank you so much, Bea! Seeing the ringing in a video - even if the quality is not quite good - is such exciting and interesting.
Many thanks again to everyone also for the great pictures!

I’m so glad, that the little one is in good health.
And now I'm wondering, what Lotte will "say" to the big present, Stefan has brought.

[Riitta]

Thanks @ all for posting pics & comments of the ringing.
Special thank @ you, Bea for the video!

One owlets trys self-feeding with a huuuuge chunk, a leg from somewhat, but it is too big - or not???.




Finally it managed to swallow it

I am curious when Lotte will come home.

[Michi]

I'm just watching the owlet trying to swallow a very huge piece of food.
It is awesome seeing this.





Edit: Has he managed it now?

[Riitta]

12:25 - 12:27 Thank you so much for your great job, Stefan Brücher!

[Kukelke]

19:20 - owlets on high alert, hissing and clacking. I think I heard someone/something landing the seconds before.

[Bea]

What was this, for heavens sake???

Lotte in and out like a flash??


Ahhh ... she was afraid of the monster-rabbit

[Riitta]

..."monster-rabbit" , I think, it's a present!

19:23 "Mom, come baaaaack! The monster-rabbit is deaaaaad!"

[Bea]

20:21
One owlet again on a walk on the rockwall, to have a look where Mom is staying?

[Kukelke]

That owlet exploring was the runt:



This is as far as the runt has been 'out' of the nest so far.

[Bea]

20:28
One climbed on the ledge

[Kukelke]

I wonder when Lotte will make her next approach to the nest. Sooner or later her maternal instincts will kick in again and she will want to feed her owlets.

@Bea, that video of Lotte & the monster rabbit was priceless
