Photograph by David Chancellor @chancellordavid - a Barn Owl chick gets its first sight of the outside world. I've been working with licensed ringers today; the owlets were carefully removed from the nesting boxes, measured, weighed, and an identification ring put on the leg, then they were placed safely back in the nest boxes. Once fledged this will allow them to be easily identified as originating from this location, the date born, and their development from that point onwards. From the weight, we estimate this brood to be around 49 days old. The beautiful moon face is now fully evident, and the soft down which kept the chick warm when born, and up to this point, is being replaced by flight feathers. They should fledge; leave the nest box around 56 days, and be fully developed at 63 days. The next time I see these birds will almost certainly be when they’re out hunting at twilight in a month or so. Couldn’t help but wish them well in the outside world ??Without doubt one of my favourite birds here in the Cairngorm National Park, Scotland - to see more of my time here, follow me @chancellordavid @thephotosociety @everydayextinction and @ナショナルジオグラフィック #cairngormsnationalpark #scotland #conserving #owls #barnowls
