12:34 when I go online, Lotte is feeding her little one.


12:35 Now she is eating herself.

12:38 Mom covers little owlet, but a moment later feeding goes on.

I can't say, which kind of prey it is.

12:54 Now and then little one takes a morsel.
12:57 Feeding is finished. Lotte puts the remains of prey aside.

[Riitta]

12:58 Next owlet has hatched.
Lotte throws the empty egg-shell away.

[Bea]

Yeah .... despite the breeding place is not that good visible than in previous years, one can catch happy moments - as long as it will last and growing plants will not block view completely ...

Feeding began at 12:31 and owlet got already a quite big chunk from Lotte, it had to work with it longer!



12:43
I took the moments from the feeding when owlet was visible, most of the time it was nearly completely hidden under Lotte´s feathers



12:57
Feedings ends and Lotte threw the eggshell out

[Riitta]

18:41 It looks like preparing for next feeding.

18:43 Yeah - it is. Dinner for the fluffy ball.


18:50 Mom and her Baby.



After one minute feeding is finished.

I have only seen one owlet. I think the second one isn't hatched.

18:54 Lotte makes a break for little one, feeding goes on.

19:00 Remains of prey in the larder again.

April 28th

14:00 Lotte covers little one and the egg(s?). I can't see any prey.

[romy]

As Lotte was away in the evening for a moment, two moving owlets were to be seen and, I mean, a third, very small.
And I think there was also Leo.
Too bad that everything is so hard to see.

[Bea]

Very difficult to see, but it could really be three owlets. At least I think there is nothing more egg-shaped.
It looks as if first Leo appears to have a look at the owlets and quickly takes off as Lotte is right behind him (21:24/21:25)

29. April

04:03
It looks and sounds as if Leo delivered prey for the family

[Bea]

04:34
Lotte was out like a flash and one can hear clacking beaks - an intruder on the ledge?


After several nights with recording fails I had a complete recording from tonight

[Bea]

07:27
Feeding time there was prey in the larder. I don´t know what you all can see, but I think I see to hungry beaks.
And one still intact egg, it could also be seen in recordings from the night. We´ll see whether there will be a third hatch at all.

[Riitta]

The intact egg is to be seen at the end of your 04:34 video, Bea.

Lotte feeds the two owlets with leftovers of the rat

[sova]

There they are....

[Riitta]

April 30th

10:48 Lotte & her hidden owlets


11:55

[Riitta]

14:03 Lotte interrupts dozing, because there is the sound of a Trush nearby.


14:22 Lotte takes some leftovers of prey for herself. They were located under her breast.

[romy]

10:09 Lotte is feeding the owlets, and I think there are three.

[Bea]

For me it also looks as if there are three beaks

[romy]

When feeding after 13:00 all three were clear to see.
Food seems to be there when one sees never a delivery.

[Bea]

Deliveries are probably during night time. I am recording, but there are re-starts in the night and then my recording breaks - and most of these breaks I am already sleeping ....
