Yours are probably from a second clutch, usually laid in June/July, hatching from early July, (31 days incubation) Owls start incubating their eggs as soon as they are laid (they do not complete the clutch first), therefore the last chick could be up to two weeks younger than the first, with eggs hatching every 2-3 days and a clutch of 4-6 eggs. ..........the first clutch would have been laid nearby, probably in another nest location, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeydredd Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) It looks like multiple pics of the same owl and doesn't look newly fledged to me. They wouldn't sit in a tree together like that either surely. But then again.......lol Edited July 17, 2021 by Mickeydredd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
