Tawny Owl succesful hunting morning
I have been moving the cameras each time I download footage to try and pick up different wildlife. I have tried to capture birds in trees a few times and have had some success although the shots tend to be short with birds moving very quickly and I only get a second or two footage. This footage is a different order over a 2 hour period this tawny owl arrives and successfully hunts and eats 2 mice.
The camera is in a yew tree which provides a lovely flat platform. There is quite a bit of footage of a robin at 5.19am in the morning when light levels were still low under the tree.
At 6.15am the robin makes a brief appearance
It looks like the owl is eating insects in this shot but it is difficult to see what is happening in detail. Maybe he is cleaning his beak and claws.
An hour later at 7.32am, the tawny owl returns with another meal also a mouse I think. This does appear to be the same bird and he manages to eat this mouse whole in one gulp!
After this it's back to the robin singing his song with no further sign of the owl by the time I pick up the footage a week later. I have moved the camera to another tree with a good flat branch and hope to pick up further footage.
