Luna the tawny owl has accepted the two rescued chicks I placed in her nest. Watch her take them under her wing the moment she spots them.

HAPPY ENDING
This means that after a long wait, Luna the tawny owl is finally a mum. Not only did her eggs fail to hatch this year, but she also lost her clutch last year.

LUNA IS HERSELF A RESCUE OWL
And the event also brings the story round full circle since Luna is herself a rescued tawny owl, raised herself by owls here at Fotherdale who fostered her in 2017.

FOSTERING OWLS
I regularly place orphaned or lost owlets into tawny owl nests and these birds accept the young chicks as their own. Their urge to protect and nurture is strong. Read more about how I do it here: https://www.robertefuller.com/diary/s...
