Pot Plant Owl nests! 30 August

30 August - we've just woken up to find Pot Plant Owl in her nest. She's alert and nervous. Any movement catches her attention as her head swivels from side to side.

The webcam will be up and running shortly - watch this space!

  2. Tracy, I see that there is still a need for signatures on the petition, but I can't find where to sign it. Do you have a link so we can do our part to save the wetlands?

  10. Thank you thank you thank you. I love to see her. It looked like earlier that she was in labor. . . I sure do feel for the little owls b/c there is a lot of pain (just as we have). Blessings, Janet (It's so good to be back.)

  11. The egg has been left alone for quite some time now...I assume the temps there are warm enough to not harm the incubation. Hurry home Mama~ It's far too soon to start worrying!

  12. I think it isn't broadcast live because I am in Europe with the same time zone as Johannesburg and here it is daytime when it is night-time at Johannesburg.
    Africam says there is a problem with the cam.

    I can't wait until I can see them "live" here.
    Congratulations to all!
    Love, Sarah/mrshb

  14. Nothing to worry about. PPO did this last season. Many other birds will not fully incubate the first egg or two.

    One theory is that it slows down the developement, so they all hatch closer to each other.
