The kids and I are really enjoying checking in on Molly the Barn Owl (plus, to date, one chick!).
However I do wonder if some of the people who are watching and who think it's all so cute are ready for the fact that, if food gets at all scarce, the older chicks will eat the younger ones (as we witnessed in a Barn Owl brood the BBC programme Springwatch was monitoring a year or so ago).
It makes perfect sense from Nature's point of view, but it also makes for gruesome viewing...
