Off Line

12 September 2023

We are afraid that following the thunder storms experienced over Bourne on Sunday afternoon, some of the owl camera equipment appears to have been damaged by a lighting strike(s) and consequently the camera feed is down.  We are investigating the problem and hope (Fingers crossed!) that matters are capable of of a relatively easy fix. In view of the fact that, prior to this episode, the surviving chick was latterly only infrequently seen in the box, we were contemplating turning the feed off for the season but the decision has now been made for us!

It has regrettably been a very mixed season this year and indeed we are advised that only some 97 Owl chicks have been ringed throughout the whole of the county  of Lincolnshire, so in some ways we have been lucky to produce one chick.
