Our three surviving owlets have been ringed

9 July 2026

Several trustees from the Len Pick Trust and their families were present to see the three owlets ringed under licence last night.

They were sexed as two males and one female.

The chicks are exactly seven weeks old and in the evening they are mobile enough to go down the tunnel to the entrance as they know this is where the food is delivered.

They return to sleep in the box during the daytime.

Regular viewers will have noticed our camera has been unreliable this season but it is working now. 

The website has already had nearly ten thousand hits in 2026 so far.

It is popular in countries all around the world.

It won’t be long before the owlets are taking their first tentative flights but they will return to the tower during the day.

We must make the most of these views as they will soon be gone.
