Camera was focussed on the nest for hours and owlets must have been on the other side of the ledge, out of sight.
Suddenly younger (?) comes walking along with something in its beak, it could have been another bunny, I think I saw dangling little legs. As far as I saw/heard it was a silent delivery, so maybe it was from Leo.
Owlet works quite a time on it on the nest.

They were quite naughty trying to chase her away.
