Lotte delivers a mouse, older owlet gets it, younger still has to wait for a bigger piece of prey that has to be ripped ....




23:22
A nice and warm and cuddly place, but not the best for being in pole position for incoming food ....


23:43
A little bit better, but .....

Lotte returns with a bird, a Peregrine Falcon, they could be heard calling around the ledge occasionally.
No immediate feeding, it goes to the right side larder.

Lotte delivers a mouse and the little owlet is the lucky one who can grab it
Older owlet was too busy with preening

A loooong feeding started and everyone got a good share here
(for that reason I left the videos so long, to show it)

1/2


2/2
Most of the time here is blocked view, but the Peregrine Falcon had a ring, maybe someone can identify it


Body of the Peregrine Falcon was placed in the upside larder


In the end Lotte left with the leftovers of one wing

Some snapshots of the ring

The first big letter is an 'R', I am pretty sure about this, but the other ones ....
A 'H' and a 'T'? Or a 'W' or a 'V'?



I made an extra video cut from time when the Peregrine Falcon´s ring was zoomed

07:55
She leaves again with the leftovers of the second wing



Lotte returns at 09:13 and stays with the owlets

It seems Lotte was not quite sure whether there was something to worry about or not
She fluffs her plumage up and down, but in the end she decides there was no need to worry

Looong feeding



17:31, during the loooong feeding
A short tug-of-war for a big bite, but the difference in size and thatwith physical strength is still too big between the owlets, the little one will still loose. But maybe soon the situation will be better for it?
For me it looks that it already has become quite more persistent and demanding and willing to fight for its food

Lotte had been out on the edge of the ledge and observed vicinity when she returned to the owlets at 21:16








She started feeding the owlets, but light/stream conditions were really bad, I didn´t make a video of it

Lotte was still feeding the owlets when Leo delivered a birdie and older owlet got it.
Lotte leaves, taking one leg (with ring) of the Peregrine Falcon with her.
I don´t know what happened to the second leg with ring

This is probably the other leg.


00:28 Lotte brought the fish


The younger owlet got it almost whole and even ate the tail.

[Rosemary]

Is the younger Eagle Owlet going well? The older owlet seems to get all the food. It was sad to see the third owlet die, apparently of starvation.

Lotte gulps the Peregrine Falcon leg with the ring on it










Ooohhh, I would like to find this pellet and pluck and investigate it
