This looks as if younger owlet is sandbathing - first scratching the ground, then wallowing and rubbing

[Bea]

20:38
Great moment happens here ....
First younger owlet is on the perch, then one can see the older owlet in the background, walking down from upside on a small path, closer to the nest area, then even flying a short way closer. Younger one hopped down from the perch, gathered all its courage and fledged to the left side, closer to its sibling.

Older owlet in cam view



21:15
Cam operator searches and "catches" younger owlet in cam view



21:20
Now cam operator manages to focus the cam on both owlets

[Bea]

22:01
Leo (?) delivers a mouse to older owlet



This is the delivery seen from the other cam, Leo or Lotte in and out again

[Bea]

22:04
After this mouse-delivery younger owlet probably thought its older sibling has the better position for food and climbs over to his sibling

[Bea]

22:08
Now both owlets are united again - is this the last view we can get from them?



Many thanks to cam operator for this great work

9. June

The cam stayed focussed on the perch the whole night - no one visited it ....

[Bea]

17:59

An Eagle Owl flew off - clips from both cams

[romy]

helicopter in the vineyards


no owlet to be seen or to be heard

[Lubaska]

21:45 CamOp found on Kam1 Lotte? (Leo)... adult owl

[romy]

I have seen some flights in cam 2 at 21.40

[Bea]

Videos to your reports

21:09
Helicopter spraying the vineyards



21:40
Eagle Owl flying upwards


Was there more flying, romy? I found only this one.

[Bea]

21:46
Cam operator finds Lotte (?) - I think it is Lotte



She takes off at 22:00

[Lubaska]

19:54 Lotte s voice is heard on Kamera 1

P.S. And I think that I can hear a weak hissing on Kamera 2 (20:05) so I guess the owlet(s) is still not too far from the cam.

No owlet, but a lizard on the perch

[Bea]

Around 22:20 owlet hissing nearby, but not visible or on the perch

[Mamicja]

So far not in the cam range, but close.

New update by Stefan Brücher

12. June

In the afternoon was some maintenance and adjustment work at the cam at the traditional nest place, not much of Stefan Brücher came in cam view, only his fingers

Cables were taken out of view, some phone talk could be heard and some more adjustment of the cam was made.
In the end one can hear sound of clicking carabiners and rope slipping.

Cam can give now a quite sharp view on the opposite ridge.

Thank for your hint about new update, Mamicja!

@ Stefan B. - thanks for your last statement.
I'm happy to know, that both owlets have fletched.
Great, because their nest was so small.
