We've already been asked the inevitable question...will there be a cam on the owls this year? Unfortunately, there won't be. The main reason is that Telkom, our ISP, can't cope with normal bandwidth for this area. If we were to put up a cam again, we'd need a huge increase in line speed. Right now, even normal email usage is problematic. If anyone can get fibre cables put into our area, we'd be able to get cams up. But don't be disheartened... we'll post pictures and short video clips as this new season unfolds. Peace.

We have two eggs but expect a third in a day or two. Its lovely to hear them calling at sunset and during the night as we lie in bed, only a few metres away.

A very proud male announcing to the world that the female on the nest are his family and this territory IS occupied.

A Grey Go-away Bird (Grey Lourie) scolds PPO, who takes no notice. The 'garden birds' are never happy to have a resident predator.
She is now sitting on 2 eggs and seldom leaves the nest. The male feeds her during the night. We have not seen any more mating and the territorial calling has stopped. I don't think we will get a third egg this year.

Share the sounds of the Grey Go-away Bird with us. This is our morning chorus. The owl, you will notice, tries to sleep through the racket. I suspect the Go-away Birds are nesting in our garden, which is why they are more vocal this year.

Confirmation of one little owlet chick...we think hours old. No sooner had I tried to open the window for a picture, then PPO flew in, and jumped back into the nest. This is the best pic I could take.

Video of little owlet chick trying to return to nest pot

and The owlet fell or was blown out of the nest. After a night of exploring the balcony, this is its scramble to get back in. We placed the 'perches' there to assist.

Little chick has fledged. It's in the stone water feature

Look carefully at our dog on the grass and PPO on the balcony pillar. We had to chaperone our dogs out for toiletries, under the beady eye of PPO
Little chick in water feature to the right of our dog...such well behaved dogs

Ready to explore as sun goes down. Hissing for food already
