Day 36 and we have a winner!

Monday 7 Nov: It's early in the morning Central African time. The sun is just starting to rise - the perfect time for little owl chicks to be heading for bed.

Not so for 'soon-to-be-named' Chick 1, who decides that now is the time to explore. Our sweet chick doesn't just choose the lip of the pot plant - it decides to climb rigt out of the pot and up the balcony pillar. Once it reaches the top of the tiny balcony pillar, it sits there looking out - ever so pleased with itself.

Have a look at this video clip showing the 'pot plant escape':

  5. We have our winners of the Pot Lip Challenge! Kudos to Cpeke and Rdamaz for accurately predicting the correct date while more than 30 of the rest of us failed (including Tracy herself, lol.) All bragging rights to them until the next challenge.

  9. Knaz, ty you for the link because i tried the other one and it would not work.That was wonderful watching both of them. I can hardly believe that it is time already. Poor Tracey is probably doing a dance and will be ready for some sleep!!
    Thanks again Knaz, so much fun to watch what they get in to from here until they leave us.
