One owlet was eating something on the rock when the second one flew in and tried to steal the food. They were fighting in the darkness (very poor vision)


Earlier a small bird visited the nest. Do you know what that bird is?

Hi Mamicja,

it could be a female Black Redtail - in German "Hausrotschwanz" (Phoenicurus ochruros)

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausrotschwanz

I´ve placed the German Wikipedia link here, because I think the pictures about females are better than in the English version.

Thank you Bea

Different animals visit the nesting ledge, but not owls
At night


During the day

Both owlets on the ledge
Later cam operator finds them back on top of the edge over the opposite ridge

Was it our "little" owlet?

Great, that you caught them, Mamicja

Their calls always sound a bit like from hysteric teenagers

28. September

good evening everyone

20:00
There was a lot of talk

Thanks, sova! I missed it. An eagle owl without a ring, maybe Lotte?

Good evening

20:02
Lotte visits traditional nest place and Leo is hooting somewhere not far


I had no own recording, had to take it from the stream rewind, it is not the best qualitiy, sorry
But better than no recording at all

Bea
I also saw it live
Lotte is beautiful, as usual.
I haven't heard owlets in the last 10 days, they are probably somewhere else.

Was it Lotte?

Recently, owls have become active

Cam operator can focus one of our Eagle Owls on the opposite ridge, I suppose that it was Leo



19:08
Leo is found back on the lower ledge, of course at his favourite nest place
Lotte can be heard in vicinity, also hooting



19:27
Cam changes to night vision and video quality is really bad on some points, but I left it as it is, because interesting vocals from Leo and Lotte can be heard



This all looks and sounds as if our couple is already in autumn display mood

Leo on the ledge, near traditional nest place, Lotte could be heard before, think she was not far from him

Owls are still around

Lotte sailing in to the traditional nest place, Leo is hooting somewhere close.
Maybe she got a gift from him after she took off ...

Lotte visited the nest
She casted a pellet and flew away
