Barn Owl Lays Second Brood in a Tawny Owl Box - How Will the Tawny's React? 🦉⚔️🦉 #Shorts

Gylfie the barn owl has laid the first egg of a second brood in a nest box usually occupied by tawny owls 😨

SECOND BROOD
Gylfie's first chicks, Nutmeg & Thyme, have only recently fledged the nest and already this female barn owl has laid again.

FINN ON DOUBLE DUTIES
This leaves barn owl dad Finn with the job of keeping an eye on fledglings Nutmeg & Thyme, since both these owlets are not yet fully independent, as well as supporting Gylfie as she incubates the new clutch.

CONTROVERSIAL CHOICE OF OWL BOX
Gylfie's choice of owl box is a little controversial. Over the last few weeks I've watched her scraping in several different boxes, as though trying to decide which one to lay in, but now she has finally chosen to lay in my Beech Stump box. And this where the tawny owls usually lay.

HOW WILL THE TAWNY OWLS RESPOND?
At this time of year the tawny owls will be looking to secure their nest site for the next breeding season. There could be fireworks!

I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.
