We arrived to see and owlett sat up in a tree, out in full view just ff the main pathway, it took us a bit more time to pick out the adult posting high up in a pine.
The fluffy white owletts branch out and live the nest at around 28 to 37 days. Tawny owls are dependent on their parents for food up to three months after leaving the nest. As the young owls gradually learn to fend for themselves they also establish territories.
Haslam Park sits alongside the Lancaster Canal and still boasts many of its original and unique features from when it was first built. The park's ornate Grade II listed gates at two of its main entrances are just some of the features that make this Edwardian park stand out from the rest.
Tawny owl typically remain close all year round to their territory in which they have nested and they have pair-bonds that last for life. Their first territorial fights occur as early as October and November, the male determining the territory, the female the nesting hole. The transition from autumn to winter is marked by a final establishment of territories and pre-breeding behaviour. The female and male tend more and more to roost together.
Courtship feeding begins in the winter period (December to February), becoming progressively centred on the future nest site. In the UK the Tawny Owl usually begins breeding in mid-March where they can end up with two to six eggs, but sometimes only one.
Not particularly rare bird, in fact tawny owls are the most common owl found in the UK, and one of the coolest.
Big thanks Andrew mate.
