Title: Tawny Owls (UK) Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 21-Feb-11, 04:44:45 AM Not sure whether this link is just a teaser or not - date says 31 January, and you know how good I am at these things! Maybe, tho, it will run live at times, as the BTO site says they will be following them. I cannot believe these two are snuggled in so closely - where will the babies go?! Charming to see those two little heads poking out of the box.

Guess they do though. Sad that the male disappeared after the 3 eggs were laid, then momma. Poor eggs. I didn't find a link for a cam on the website.
P.S. I didn't know a group of Robins was called a "Round" Title: Re: Tawny Owls (UK) Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 21-Feb-11, 06:03:19 AM Yeah really, how do they all fit in there. Guess they do though.

I didn't know a group of Robins was called a "Round" No, neither did I find a proper link, Donna - tho the site did say they would be following them. I will watch. The "round" of robins was one of those vox-pop things in which people voted. The thing being that our robins are hardly ever seen in anything like a group. Three is very much a crowd, and during most winters, another one is enough to get their blood boiling. They seem to have let their battles subside this winter, tho, as it was so harsh. For such pretty little critters, they sure are feisty! Title: Re: Tawny Owls (UK) Post by: Donna on 21-Feb-11, 06:20:33 AM Yeah really, how do they all fit in there. Guess they do though.

For such pretty little critters, they sure are feisty! My dad in law just left for his Florida home last week said all our Robins are in his yard. He said he heard a commotion, went out and the birds that live in his trees were fighting with the Robins who were picking the worms after he just got done watering the lawn. Said there had to be over 50 Robins on the lawn. They will be back here soon. Title: Re: Tawny Owls (UK) Post by: MAK on 24-Feb-11, 12:06:02 AM 50 robins...what a sight that had to be! ;D
