Due to work commitments I haven't had a lot of time to write much on the website, but now I have a bit more free time I hope to update it a bit more than I have.
The Ruru pair that have nested on my property for the past few Years have returned and are in the process of raising two young Owlets. There were three eggs at one point but it looks like one of them got broken somehow so only two emerged. But those two are doing well and now at three weeks old have their eyes open, are fluffing up nicely and exploring more and more while the parent hunt of a night.

I've managed to get a livestream going almost continuously which has been great, but the uptake is always sketchy. I honestly have no idea how you market yourself with all this stuff, so if anyone actually reads this dribble I write them please ping me and let me know that a. you read it and b. if you know how to market myself a bti better, I'm all ears!!
