Reviewing 2017 : Two Juvenile Powerful Owls !
When I took this all four (i.e. these two youngsters and the adults) were perched in the same tree. I followed them discretely for about 4 weeks over which period the youngsters had begun to camp further and further from the adults. Then we had severe storms (late November / early December) and the whole family seem to have relocated to, hopefully, a safer space.
Isn't it amazing how they can turn their heads through 180 degrees and sleep at the same time!
I always found them perched 'opposite way round' like this - so each can cover for the other. Doesn't help if they sleep with their head the wrong way round though :-)
