Owls
Checked out a LEO site last night and had 3 well grown young hunger calling with adult bringing in food. Then moved on to a reported Barny site and found the bird strait away. There's still probably a few weeks left for finding Leos before the young disperse.
Got a good look at 2 Owlets at another Calderdale site last night, too dark for photos but took a couple of videos on phone with good audio of hunger calling, one adult out hunting.
Visited 3 Calderdale LEO breeding sites this last week, one has 3 owlets, two other sites have at least a pair, all seem to be doing well :)
Also visited another 4 sites over the last month just outside our area with a total of 10 owlets, again, all doing well :)
Copies are available at £6.00 each from the GO local store at Woodlesford, Pellon price . Hopefully they will also be available at the Fox and Goose Hebden Bridge ,

Excellent news for both LEO and Barn Owls!
