Johannesburgin ruukkupöllön toinenkin pesintä epäonnistui, surullista...
Pot Plant Owl
We've had a wonderful amount of much-needed rain recently. This has left gardens absolutely soaking wet. Of course, garden birds have not escaped the heavy rainfall.
In this rain, Lady has sat diligently on her eggs, doing her best to keep the eggs dry and warm.
Until this morning.
After heavy rain again last night, we woke up to find Lady gone and the eggs abandoned. We're not sure if this persistently heavy rain influenced her decision or if there are other reasons.
Pappa isn't around this morning either which leads us to believe that it was a deliberate decision to abandon eggs they feel are unviable.
Of course I'll only rest well when I see them both flying around again. Will keep you posted.
