Welcome to my Barn Owls, Kestrels & More British Wildlife LIVESTREAM. This stream is jam packed with British Wildlife for you all to enjoy. There is also a live chat on this stream which is great to join in with. To support my channel and the wildlife rehabilitation and conservation work I do, please donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A52ZHAMJZC3J4 The barn owls on the stream are Gylfie (female) & Finn (male) our resident pair, Ghost (male), and Willow (female). The tawny owls are Bomber (male) and Luna (female). There are two resident kestrels, Mr & Mrs Kes. After a few battles for the nest boxes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apTVXftOAMk&t=257s) - the kestrels Mr and Mrs Kes, laid 6 eggs in Sycamore Stump. Despite some intense battles with jackdaws (https://youtu.be/x1yDrfa2mzs) the eggs have hatched and we now have 6 chicks, developing quickly! They recently got their ID rings, a key part of conservation efforts (https://youtu.be/w-7HDhuCwMA). The first (https://youtu.be/Sz84EhuWy3U) and second barn owl chicks have now hatched, on the 04/06 and 07/06 respectively, fingers crossed for the 3rd in another 2-3 days. Despite barn owls Finn and Gylfie having some awkward mating attempts at the start (https://youtu.be/UUUdFluA-gY_), I was very happy they managed to lay 3 eggs (https://youtu.be/etLPIMO8dJY). Barn Owls Ghost and Willow can be regularly seen courting in the Barn Owl Tower and the Kestrel Feeding Post and Maze Wall are great locations to see lots of barn owl action on an evening. If you would like to learn how to tell the barn owls apart, watch this I.D video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNmSwVHlBW8 Bomber the tawny owl has been in the area since ~2013 and Luna ~2020. Luna has a scar on her right foot, and has a paler appearance, especially in her face. Bomber has darker brown colouration in his face, and his facial features appear bigger - here's how to tell them apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ0V9uVBO7w. They had 4 chicks last year, but unfortunately both Tawny Owl eggs failed to hatch this year. Despite starting to crack, the first egg failed to hatch on Saturday 27/02 and Luna abandoned incubation of the second egg on Sunday 28/02. Sadly Luna will probably not lay anymore eggs this year as tawny owls usually only have one brood a year. Bomber and Luna's backstory: https://youtu.be/Fk6YZjk4jes. Here's what went wrong with Bomber and Luna's eggs in 2021: https://youtu.be/RvPaEBGgFi0 I am very happy to announce that there is a female stoat – Hazel in my garden with kits. I am hoping to see them in the next couple of weeks in my garden. Backstory: Last year, Gylfie and Barney, her previous partner, raised a single chick in their first brood - Solo. Solo stayed in the nest until Gylfie had her second brood of three eggs. Solo unfortunately ended up stealing a chick: https://youtu.be/8HmTmcWW54o, Solo returned once but was promptly chased away: https://youtu.be/-RmWMOgy9-Y. The two remaining chicks, Hans (female) and Grete (male) developed well from adorable balls of fluff to young adults. At two months old the chicks were ringed on their right legs: https://youtu.be/43xAGch_dJA. We soon caught the moment Hans experienced her first glimpse of the outside world: https://youtu.be/co10DCm9nFI. On 19/10/20 I received a rescue barn owl named Howard: https://youtu.be/lhB8Om-C3pA. I introduced him into the elm nest with Hans and Grete the next day: https://youtu.be/zNQ9eDve_BY, this re-introduction didn’t go to plan, so Howard was relocated to the barn owl tower the next day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNQ9eDve_BY. Howard, who has a ring on his left leg, is now doing extremely well and can often be seen on the stream. Drax, a female, was also rescued, but did not survive. Sadly, we have not seen Barney since the 23/10/2020, I do not know what happened, but I don’t think he will return. In his memory, we made a film of his time here: https://youtu.be/QD78101KsJA. #barnowl #robertefuller #live About Me: 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.

Watch live at http://allaboutbirds.org/texashummers for more information about the birds you see on cam and highlights from the feeders. The West Texas Feeder Cam is powered by Perky-Pet®. Like the feeders you see? Check out their selection at https://www.perkypet.com/store/bird-feeders ********************************** The West Texas Feeder Cam is nestled in the mountains outside Fort Davis, Texas, at an elevation of over 5500 feet. This site hosts a total of 30 hummingbird feeders, and during peak migration can attract hundreds of hummingbirds from a dozen species that are migrating through the arid mountains. During winter, our cam hosts install a more traditional bird feeder setup that attracts species like Pine Siskins, Ladder-backed Woodpeckers, and more. For over 10 years, researchers from West Texas Avian Research have been banding hummingbirds at this site and others throughout the Trans-Pecos region of Texas to study the status and distribution of hummingbirds throughout the poorly known region. The active banding of hummingbirds continues (off camera) at this site in the Davis Mountains, and from time to time you may hear researchers working in the background. Some common species in you may hear vocalizing include Woodhouse's Scrub-Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers, and Bewick's Wrens (among others). Thanks to West Texas Avian Research for their enthusiasm and support for hosting the camera at this remote research site. #birdcams #live #hummingbirds #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #texas #birdfeeder

Watch LIVE at http://AllAboutBirds.org/CornellFeeders for news, updates, and more information about the pond and its surroundings. This FeederWatch cam is located in the Treman Bird Feeding Garden at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York. Perched on the edge of both Sapsucker Woods and its 10-acre pond, these feeders attract both forest species like chickadees and woodpeckers as well as some species that prefer open environments near water like Red-winged Blackbirds. The Wild Birds Unlimited store at Sapsucker Woods has been a part of the visitor experience in the Cornell Lab’s Visitor Center ever since the new building opened in 2003. They are the preferred vendor of official Cornell Lab merchandise and offer a dizzying number of feeders, binoculars, and birdwatching-related gear and gifts to make any bird enthusiast happy. WBU has also pledged support for many of the Cornell Lab’s local efforts, including providing the bird feeders and food for this FeederWatch Cam. The FeederWatch cam hardware includes an Axis P1448-LE camera with an an ETS ML1-WPW microphone. #birdcams #live #birdfeeder #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #newyork
