I found both girls on my walk tonight, and they were in the same tree….in fact Mell had hardly moved.

I had a late meeting, so haven’t done the photos, but it was nice being able to get them both in the same shot, although the light wasn’t the best due to the drizzle.

I don’t think they have much to fear from predators now they are off the ground (where there certainly are both cats and foxes). None of our local owls or frogmouths are likely candidates, being quite small and taking mostly mice, moths etc. We don’t have the large owls this close to town.

Flying accidents when learning to hunt are on the cards, however, so fingers crossed. And when they are on their own, they often resort to road kill, where they are once again vulnerable.
