Carl Liebenberg
First up we are delighted to report that OBP member, Carl Liebenberg, has had ANOTHER clutch of owls in his box, bringing to three the number of clutches that have been born in his owl box in the last year alone.
Those of you who have been members since at least 2006 will remember Carl from our Spring Newsletter. His owlets were ringed by Karen Dixon from FreeMe, and we are thrilled to show you pictures of Bettie and Diana. We know The Liebenberg’s are the envy of many members, but the fact that this is happening proves that a) if you are patient your owl will come and b) once they breed in your box, they return year on year to do so.
Holy flying fox! It's a nursery for orphaned bats
