Where does Lotte live, Yilly. She makes scary noises.

[Tilly2]

Germany, Yont. Them's german squawks!

[tonyav]

Thanks Yilly, I thought they sounded like orders that she is squawking out.

[Tilly2]

They are orders, Yont. 'Feed me, feed me!'

[tonyav]

Mom and dad don't seem to hear her though.

[Tilly2]

She is Mum. She's sitting on eggs. It's Dad that doesn't seem to hear, which is a bit of a disability for an owl!

[tonyav]

Ah I see, selective deafness !.

[Tilly2]

Like most males of the species. :-)

[tonyav]

Doh Pardon, Yilly ;-)

[Tilly2]

LIKE MOST MALES OF THE SPECIES.

[tonyav]

Ok Ok I heard you.

There is a beautiful male Eagle Owl living in the woods where I live Tilly, bloody huge wingspan and keeps landing on folks heads looking for a mate.

Orderlimit, it seems that he's got a Dutch cousin.

Blimey, exactly the same MO then lol. If you walk around Wotton Under Edge and call the Owl it will come to you within a minute. It's one very impressive bird and has eaten all the rats.

[tonyav]

Eaten all of the rats, he's worth keeping around.

[Tilly2]

Good for Eddie! Go eagle owl.

I'm off now, got to fly. Goodnight.

I thought you lived in the Canadian Rockies OL when I saw your post. Eagle Owl in Wotton under Edge though, lucky you.

[tonyav]

Don't get in a flap about it, g'night Yilly.

[Orderlimit]

No, still struggling along in SW UK ladybirder !. It's very nice round here though, lots of owls around, deer and recently a massive Kestrel on the loose but this Eagle Owl is very impressive, you've got to see it to appreciate how big it is in flight, its like a Boeing 747 :)
