There were 7 and now there are 5

The camera in the owl box at ECWRF has seen the laying of 7 eggs turn into 7 owlets growing white and then brown feathers. Len has been watching daily as have I and Len reports he believes the two largest owlets have fledged. There are 5 now in the box.

Parents have worked hard to keep them all alive.
