It was a big surprise to be told of two Long-eared Owls fledglings. I managed a late evening visit on 9th June and soon heard the "squeaky gate" calls of the young birds. Eventually they were located in some thick scrub. They continued to call for about 30 minutes before flying along a hedgerow that crossed the farmland. I have seen Long-eared Owls on several occasions but this is the first time I have seen birds that have recently left the nest!
