2013 - Little Owl Cam - The Netherlands

These are Little owls (Athene noctua) The literal translation on the Netherlands web site is Stone Owl.

Cam goes live March 1st! 2010 will hopefully be a good year for these cutie pies! Love this nest!

Excellent! Thanks for the notice.

According to the new web site

The past three years we could witness the ups and downs of 'our' pair of stone owls. In these 3 years they have laid 12 eggs (every four years). It crawled 11 chicks (one egg did not). Three young (in 2007) took the finish, unfortunately not. Ultimately, 8 boy flown out. An average of 2.7 per season. This is a very fine result. We are awaiting the exciting events this season. Yet it looks good. Both owls have been repeatedly identified in the breeding area and the manner in which they looked at each other promised much good. They seem to have meaning again. Of course there will still be a Robbertje fought for the possession of the cabinet. Last year proved both pigeon hole as a pair chew solid interest to have. The stone owls will certainly find that they have a priority claim and expected that they will also be claiming. Watch the coming months with us and Experience it again in 2010
