Barn Owl Dad so Devoted as Chicks Hatch | Gylfie & Finn | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-05-04 | Gylfie the barn owl couldn't have had a more attentive partner in Finn. Watch this male barn owl attend to her needs as she broods their clutch of four precious eggs.

She sits on them 24 hours a day for nearly a month, using her body heat to keep the eggs at a medium 34C. MALE BARN OWL HUNTSAnd as she does so , Finn keeps her sustained with a steady supply of food. He spends his days catching small rodents, like shrews, and delivers three or four meals a day,OWL TEAMWORKBoth owls are working hard in their respective roles, but there's always time for affection - and Finn continues to mate with Gylfie often, even though he’s not fertilising more eggs. FINN FUSSES WITH EGGSBut this male barn owl is also utterly besotted by the prospect of chicks on the way and when Gylfie leaves the nest briefly, he hears a chick cheep from inside its shell. He responds by moving the egg away from the others and when Gylfie returns she seems displeased with the arrangement - she needs to keep all four eggs warm at once!FIRST HATCHThe first chick takes over an hour to fully emerge and when it does it is bald and blind… it’s incredible to think in two months this chick will be ready to fly. FIRST FEED Already it knows how to swallow food and Gylfie tears up a meal into bite sized morsels and then tucks it under her feathers for warmth. DAD MEETS OWLETA few hours later, Finn sees the chick for the first time and is instantly attentive. Later, once the clutch has hatched, this male owl can't contain his curiousity and the cameras capture him gazing intently at his owlets as they lie, snugly underneath Gylfie. SECOND EGG FAILS Barn owls lay every two/three days and when a second chick does not appear for another six days, taking almost all day to emerge from its shell, it is clear one egg has failed. Gylfie soon removes the egg from underneath her. FINAL CHICK HATCHES Three days later, Gylfie stands to reveal a pip in the last egg. And soon, the third and final chick has hatched. Now these owl parents must work even harder to keep these tiny owlets warm and fed.. NEXT TIME… In the next film, when disaster strikes, how will Gylfie get on as a single parent? #barnowl #owls #robertefuller I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK.

Kestrels Fight to Secure Nest & Lay Eggs | Apollo & Athena | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-04-20 | Kestrel pair Apollo and Athena face tough challenges as they prepare to raise their chicks. Watch them fight off rival jackdaws and avoid dangerous predators like stoats and even a buzzard.To support my channel and the wildlife rehabilitation and conservation work I do, please donate here:paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A52ZHAMJZC3J4 or join one of my supporter communities in exchange for behind the scenes content here: robertefuller.com/support_and_donateASH HOLLOW NESTThis nest box was built especially for this kestrel pair. Located in a restored woodland habit, it is clearly a desirable spot.EARLY COURTSHIPAnd despite staking their claim early, this kestrel must fight to keep it. Kestrel courtship rituals begin with the male, Apollo, securing a site and 'presenting' it to the female for her approval. APOLLO VS JACKDAWSBut Apollo's has his job cut out for him. First he faces competition from a pair of jackdaws. One of the most intelligent birds on the planet, these birds are fearsome and toy with the male kestrel, pulling at his feathers.APOLLO VS TAWNY OWLAt night, the onslaught continues. This time a neighbouring tawny owl, named Ozzy by followers of this channel, visits the nest. Tawny owls are much larger, heftier birds and Apollo quickly concedes.KESTREL COURTSHIP But Apollo's persistence pays off and by mid-February he is ready to show off the nest site to his mate, Athena. Watch him bow courteously as she enters. Her approval is essential for the next stage of their courtship.ATHENAThankfully she approves and soon Apollo is showering her in gifts, proof he can provide for her and their future chicks. Their romance blossoms as he delivers a succession of voles, and even a lizard - a rare kestrel delicacy and hard to find here on the Yorkshire Wolds. NEST SCRAPEAthena demonstrates her approval by digging out a shallow hollow in the floor of the nest ready for her eggs. FURTHER NEST INTRUSIONSBut the couple cannot afford to let down their guard. The jackdaws return and this time it is Athena who leads the defence. AND DANGERThen a stoat creeps into their nest looking for eggs and things become scary when a buzzard swipes at Apollo, only narrowly missing him. Buzzards are much larger birds and the knock could have easily hurt the kestrel. Then, to make matters worse a fierce storm hits blowing snow into the nest. EGG LAYING But on April 1st Athena lays her first egg and then lays a further five - producing one roughly every two days. TEAMWORK ISSUESKestrels share brooding duties and Apollo is a dutiful partner. But the strain of egg-laying must be getting to Athena because shortly before she is due to lay her fourth egg she returns to find Apollo brooding the clutch and shouts at him to move. APOLLO TRAPPEDBut Athena is so busy clacking she doesn't seem to realise she is blocking his exit! He seems so confused and tries to climb the walls just to get out of her way.

Tawny Owl Dad Takes Precious Time With His Chicks | Luna & Bomber | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-04-15 | Tawny owl Bomber doesn't get to be with his babies often, so whilst mum Luna is out, he sneaks into the nest to see them. Watch as he gently preens them in turn.

Luna regularly shoos Bomber away as soon as he has delivered food to the nest, urging him to go out and fetch more. This was true last year too, when the owl couple fostered as this video shows: youtu.be/di_tu2onSbQBOMBERBut Bomber seems very curious about his offspring and when Luna is out he takes his chance to be alone with them. Watch him land at the nest and then look back over his shoulder to check the coast is clear, it's almost as though he feels a little guilty about visiting his chicks!TENDER MOMENTBomber is so gentle with the chicks and they seem to relish his attention. Watch one of them stretch up as he preens the other, as if to say: 'my turn now'. DISTURBED BY A NOISESuddenly Bomber is alerted by a pheasant alarm call outside and he makes a quick exit. Perhaps the pheasant was announcing the presence of a tawny owl above, because moments later Luna returns.

Inside the Nest: Mute Swan Has Bumper-Sized Egg Clutch 🦢🥚🥚🥚 | Discover Wildlife | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-04-11 | Our mute swan is now incubating an incredible nine eggs. This clutch is larger than average but not record-breaking - I have heard of a swan's nest with 13 eggs before. To support my channel and the wildlife rehabilitation and conservation work I do, please donate here:paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A52ZHAMJZC3J4 or join one of my supporter communities in exchange for behind the scenes content here: robertefuller.com/support_and_donateSWAN EGGSSwans eggs are typically 12cm x 7cm in size and have a weight of around 350g and have such a thick shell they are easily strong enough to take the weight of an adult swan - as is evidenced here when the female steps nonchalantly onto one. EGG LAYINGSwans tend to lay every 1-2 days and this clutch of total of nine eggs took just over two weeks to lay, with the last egg laid on March 27th 2023. SWAN INCUBATIONThe pen only begins to fully incubate once her clutch is complete. This ensures the chicks all hatch together and she incubates for roughly 35-41 days. I am expecting these chicks to hatch at the beginning of May.MUTE SWANSMute swans are the most common of swan species here on mainland Britain and are easy to recognise by their orange bills which have a large black 'knob' at the baseMALE VS FEMALE SWANSFemale swan are known as 'pens' and males as 'cobs'. It is very difficult to tell the difference between the sexes and both are involved in parenting; but the cob is discernable by his behaviour - he tends to guard the nest while the pen leaves to feed. MALE VS FEMALE ROLESUntil incubation begins it is often the cobb (or male) that sits on the eggs to protect them from predators although the heat he exerts is not enough to stimulate the embryos inside. Meanwhile the pen spends her time feeding up to ensure she is strong enough for the long days of incubation to come.NEXT TIMEI will continue to post the highlights from this new nest camera as they happen so subscribe to follow the story.#muteswan #swan #robertefuller I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK.

Rare Harpy Eagles Found Nesting With Chick! 4K | Wild Panama | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-04-08 | The harpy eagle is one of the largest and most magnificent birds of prey. Seeing this near mythical raptor has been on my bucket list for years. So, when I’m invited to Panama by the Canopy Family canopytower.com/canopy-camp, I seize the chance, and get so much more than I could have hoped for.TRAVEL LIKE MEIf you'd like to follow in my footsteps and see a harpy eagle for yourself, take a look at my travel page - where you can book a trip too: robertefuller.com/travelLEGENDARY HARPY EAGLEThe harpy eagle is the national bird of Panama. Named after the harpies of Greek mythology, gruesome women with the bodies of birds, this gigantic eagle is the most powerful raptor on earth and its rear talons can measure five inches – bigger than the claws of a grizzly bear. My guide, Eliecer takes me to a secret location and he’s confident we’ll get some good sightings.But it’s gonna be quite a journey! From the camp, we travel forty minutes by car. Next, it’s a 15-minute canoe trip down the Chucunaque River and then we set off through the pastures on horseback and then walked through dense jungle to a lookout point. THE CUIPO TREEEliecer, eventually pointed a finger to a small gap high in the tree canopy. And there it was. A huge nest, resting in the fork of a cuipo tree. Cuipo trees are the largest trees of this region and measure up to 200ft high, towering over the top of the rest of the canopy. Everything in this forest seemed super-sized, and so when I spotted a female harpy eagle sitting inside the nest, it felt surreal. Like coming across a mythical giant in an oversized land. The harpy eagle is so impressive it is revered across Central and South America. As I trained my lens on it, it called out, a long whistle that rang out across the forest. FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE CHICKEliecer said the sound meant she was hungry and was calling for the male to bring food. And then a small white head appeared over the rim of the nest. A chick about one month old. The female leaned over it, her only chick, and for a moment she looked fiercely protective. Mesmerised, we watched her and her chick for a total of six hours, ignoring the humidity. Throughout, the female called again and again for food. Then she took flight, her huge two-metre wings at full spread as she headed off into the forest. But she didn’t go far, and I could just see her in a nearby tree. She was tussling with something which made me think she was hunting, but then she arrived back with a branch and it seemed that she was just refreshing the nest with some greenery. MALE HARPY EAGLE FLIES INShe did, however, seem hungry and kept searching the nest for food in vain. Males don’t bring food every day we were beginning to give up hope on seeing her mate at all when we heard the male finally return the female’s calls. Then all of a sudden, the male flew into the nest carrying prey. It was hard to see what he had brought as it filled his talons, but we watched the female take it from him and begin to feed it to the chick. The male was smaller than the female. We watched him look around the nest before flying up to the branch above. He was there long enough for me to get some amazing footage of him and then he took flight, melting back into the forest.

Tawny Owl Chick Hatches - Full Process in Stunning Detail! 🥚🐣🐥 | Luna & Bomber | Robert E Fuller Robert E Fuller 2023-04-07 | It was amazing to watch tawny owl Luna & Bomber's first owl chick hatching! It was particularly amazing because Luna had just left the nest so we were able to see the exact moment the owlet hatched which I have never seen before. And of course after she has had 2 failed clutches for the past two years it was particularly exciting.Usually, tawny owl chicks hatch out under the cover of the female's feathers - but Luna needed to take a quick daily toilet break and wing stretch, so she left the nest for just under 10 minutes.To support my channel and the wildlife rehabilitation and conservation work I do, please donate here:paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A52ZHAMJZC3J4 or join one of my supporter communities in exchange for behind-the-scenes content here: robertefuller.com/support_and_donateTHE EGG HATCHING PROCESSWhen a tawny owl egg is about to hatch, the chick inside the egg begins to move and break the shell using an egg tooth, a small, pointed protuberance on the top of its beak. The chick will then use its legs to push against the shell until it creates a small hole. This process is called pipping.Once the chick has pipped, it will continue to move and work on breaking the shell until it can fully emerge. The process of hatching can take several hours, and the chick may rest intermittently throughout.WHAT A TAWNY OWL CHICK LOOKS LIKE WHEN ITS FIRST BORNWhen the chick has finally hatched, it will be covered in down feathers and its eyes will be closed. It will rely on its parents for warmth and protection, for the first 24 hours it can survive entirely on the yolk sack that is inside it. But soon, the mother will feed it regurgitated food.The moment of hatching is a crucial and exciting moment in the life cycle of a tawny owl, and it marks the beginning of its journey into the world.CHAPTERS00:00 Luna sits on eggs on 6 April00:03 Luna exits the nest00:07 Clear view of a cracked egg01:34 First view of wing03.18 First foot appears03.41 The egg shell is stuck on its head!03.47 The chick finally emerges4.06 Mum Tawny owl Luna sees the chick for the first time4.10 Rushes to incubate the newborn chick and the eggs4.28 Luna looks contentABOUT MEI am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK.
