…. And then there was just one! Last night Bayer and Bailly headed for the trees. Little Bliss is enjoying peace and quiet! #YewView

Big Bayer jumped from the side of the platform at just gone 9pm tonight! Ready to go, Bayer will now clamber up into the trees. He may well return to the box... sometimes they do.....🤞😱🦉🦉🦉#YewView. .

How many mandarins?!😍 Every year a couple of mandarin ducks visit the #YewView woodland waterhole... but quite a party this year! @BirdsyTV

Fab evening viewing of the #YewView owlets as they come out onto the platform just before it is dark. This is always the scariest time as they flap & teeter on the edges!😱 I designed this platform to maximise safety & to keep them there as long as possible....

Poor little Bliss won’t get a look in as Bailly and Bayer are out on the platform, ready for food deliveries! 🦉🦉🦉 #YewView You can watch at wildlifekate.co.uk 👍

Bayer is gaining confidence on the platform! This space gives them somewhere to learn about the outdoor world, before venturing up into the trees. Over the years, I have made it bigger & added branches, which keeps the owlets around the box for longer. #YewView #TawnyOwl

saved from the awful pigeon that scared us 🥹 #YewView

Bayer, the largest of the owlets, has made it to the platform tonight. Bayliss is attempting to get up to the entrance hole. I reckon both will be out there by the end of the weekend. May be a bit longer for littler Bliss! #YewView

Lovely to see Aluco outside, escaping the owlets, for a bit of peace & quiet in the morning sunshine. She is doing a grand job raising them and it must take a lot out of her. She is at least 7 years old, which is an amazing age for a wild tawny owl! #YewView #Owls

Little bit addicted to the #TawnyOwls at #YewView They are becoming nosier by the day.....👀🦉

@katemacrae love love watching them! so cute 🦉 #yewview

Pancake owlets! These three are eating really well at the moment with lots of prey coming in. In fact they are so full, they are just crashed out! #YewView

Oh my goodness! Just before 6am, Aluco brought in a RABBIT!!!! That's certainly going to keep everyone fed for a while. That must have weighed almost as much as her! This tawny owl is amazing! #YewView @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice

We have all worried about little Bliss getting fed. Watch how Aluco ensures Bliss gets food and then oversees the enormous task of swallowing this whole 😱 It astounds me that they can eat & digest something that big! @Natures_Voice #YewView @BBCSpringwatch

Uh oh! Things are going to start getting interesting! Bayer, the largest owlet, realises there is a world outside the nest box! Tawny owlets' branch' into trees before they can fly properly. I think another few days before he comes right out! #YewView @Natures_Voice

These owls constantly surprise me. A bat brought in to feed to the owlets! Where would it have caught it? Emerging from a roost perhaps? I'd like to find that skull in a pellet 😀🦇 #YewView @BBCSpringwatch @Natures_Voice

Lovely Aluco backwards and forwards this morning, checking on the owlets! #YewView

@Rainman050368 This is my box at home, not the #YewView one!

This beautiful vixen just visited the #YewView feeding station. It's a bit early for the food to be out yet, but she is feeding cubs and she is looking for an easy meal!! Come on, @luckywillow ... she was looking for you! 😂🦊 @BirdsyTV

Trouble at the #YewView woodland waterhole at night! How long before the badger pulls this feeder down?! 😱🦡
