Howard the rescue owl appears to have inadvertently started a war. It is barely a month since this barn owl chick was successfully released into my garden and already he's learning some hard lessons.
NEST BOX BATTLE
Watch his surprise when the kestrel pair attack him after he unwittingly chooses to make the sycamore stump they have bagged for a nest next year into his new daytime roost.
KESTREL ATTACK
It's a double-sided attack. Both male and female swoop down at him, knocking him to the ground. But poor Howard still hasn't got it - he retreats into the very box the kestrels are fighting him for.
WATCH THIS SPACE
This isn't over yet. Which species do you think will win the battle for the boxes...?

About Me: I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.

Or of course you may like to purchase my artwork which you will find on my website: https://www.robertefuller.com. Many of the paintings are portraits of the creatures you watch here!
