TAWNY OWL TAKES DOWN BARN OWL CHICK
The eldest of the barn owl chicks, Hans, was knocked right out of her nest box! Thankfully she wasn't hurt and I was on call to put her safely back in the box.
OWL CHICKS VULNERABLE AS THEY VENTURE OUT
This young female barn owl chick has only just begun to stand at the entrance to the nest box with her younger sibling, Grete, making both owlets more vulnerable to attacks like this.
LATE BROODS DEVELOPING JUST AS OTHER OWL SPECIES BECOME TERRITORIAL
Sadly it is quite common for chicks from late, second broods to be under attack. They are beginning to explore the world, just at the time when other owl species, like this tawny owl, are trying to secure territory for the next breeding season.
AGGRESSIVE TAWNY OWL
This tawny owl had been flying aggressively past the barn owl nest for a few days. Watch him almost knock the male barn owl off course just as he was feeding the chicks.
ALL IS WELL- HOW I RESCUED THIS BARN OWL
Tawny owls are much bigger and more aggressive than barn owls. A blow like this from a tawny owl is quite likely to hurt. But miraculously, young Hans was OK. I had to rescue her from the ground, check carefully that she was okay and uninjured and then carefully returned her to her nest.I just hope it doesn't happen again.

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.
