Nichée de Busards saint-Martin protégée le 4 juillet 2025. Poussins âgés de 2, 4, 6 et 8 jours environ au nid.

Le jour de la moisson, les jeunes doivent être isolés le temps des travaux puis replacés au nid. L'attente du retour de la femelle dans le nid avec une proie est indispensable.

The Hidden Lives of Owls by Leigh Calvez.
It is more a work of #naturewriting than a scientific report, although I did learn a fair amount. Owls intrigue me, how perfectly adapted they are to life as a raptor of the skies in night conditions, or in extreme climates. This book drove home the need to protect #owls as they are declining from #habitatloss , rodenticides and #climatechange. #bookstadon #nonfiction #raptor #raptorconservation #birds
Today we went to the #RaptorConservation in our local area. The morning was drizzling rain but the afternoon was quite nice.
The critters were all so cute~
