Gylfie the barn owl laid her first egg of 2024 on April 21. Watch her partner Dryer preen her lovingly as she settled down to brood after laying.
Gylfie & Dryer
Barn owls Gylfie & Dryer are now in their second season together and have chosen to bring their new family up in my Ash Stump nest box. This nest box used to be a favourite of the kestrels, Mr & Mrs Kes, but last year Gylfie and Dryer did attempt a very late brood here. Sadly the eggs didn't hatch, but now they've chosen the box again.
