Sorry, I am delayed with everything, but on the way to catch up now during the day ....

Still some nice views from yesterday .... already too big to fit standing upright under Lotte

Lotte walked out on the ledge at 20:22, observed the valley, went back to the owlets and short after that, at 20:46, she left the ledge

Leo makes a silent delivery (rat? mouse?), no Lotte in sight and so he can spend more time to offer this prey to his owlets without being reprimanded by his wife
Older owlet tried to deal with this food, but had to give up

23:05
Older owlet tries again to handle this big bite, but it has to leave it and wait for Lotte to help

04:38/04:40

The Garden Dormouse has a closer look on the owlets, first only from above ....


... two minutes later it comes a bit closer, but stays upside

Lotte returns, she was out the whole night. She starts an ultra short feeding, only few bites for the owlets.



There was a view-blocked feeding from about 09:03 - 09:24, I suppose the last food is gone with it.
Larders are most likely empty.

Lotte walked off from the nest at 20:43, observed her territory and left at 21:01

Last night, between 21 and 23, Lotte left the nest and after a short time returned to it seven times. It seems to me that every time she brought prey (mice, little bunnies?) And every time the older owlet got them to eat. On the last delivery, he was no longer able to swallow the prey right away, and Lotte ripped it into smaller pieces. I hope a younger owlet got some morsels of it.

The last delivery

Lotte had a "run" yesterday evening, she (or Leo?) probably found a mouse nest and they emptied it

22:27
Lotte delivers mouse #1 and it looks that the oldest owlet claims it


Lotte leaves 22:31

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

22:31
Lotte returns in the same minute she had left and delivers mouse #2
It looks again like oldest owlet gets it


Lotte leaves at 22:35

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

22:36
Lotte delivers mouse #3, I suppose that the oldest owlet got it again


Lotte left at 22:40

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

22:40
Lotte returns in the same minute and delivers mouse #4, most likely again to the oldest owlet


Lotte left at 22:45

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

22:45
Lotte is again back in the same minute and delivers mouse #5 .... and unfortunately it looks like again to the older owlet .....


Lotte leaves at 22:50

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

22:51
Lotte is back after a minute and delivers mouse #6, the oldest owlet is the lucky one again and when Lotte leaves, it is in some kind of food coma. Younger owlet keeps on with its protest about this unfair dealing



Lotte leaves at 22:54

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

23:06
Lotte returns and the older owlet is stuffed with mice from head to toe and so the younger one has its chance and it insits on finally being fed! It looks like Lotte ripped and fed this mouse to the younger owlet exclusively (I hope so)



Feeding until about 23:13

Lotte left the nest at 23:53

2. May

Lotte was back at 02:01

She walked out of the nest at 02:39, observed the territory and left the ledge direction right side, unusual for her, most of the time she leaves to the left side

Lotte returns with a bigger bird - a pigeon? It is stored in the hind larder

[Bea]

☼ ☼ ☼

12:52
There was a feeding from the pigeon, but I have no video of it because I forgot to push the record button

I noticed it right in time to see the pigeon being stored in the upper larder
