Thursday 26 August

The Ficus tree we had in the pot plant 'nest' was hit by black frost this winter, so we replaced it. Pot Plant Owl has changed positions in the nest because of this new tree.

Today I found her almost lying on her side in the nest - it looked very funny and not disimilar to the way the chicks used to lie on their backs.

Tonight we heard a chorus of frogs croaking - the first we've heard of them since the wetland was destroyed. Pappa added to the noise with constant hooting for what seemed like hours.

Pot Plant Owl left the nest for a short period and was back lying on her eggs again.
