Mrs Owl brings a mouse

The mother hunts for the chicks as well as the dad. Here she is bringing in a mouse (or a small rat!) at about 4.30 am on 14 April 2008. Look at that stash of food on the far side of the box. There's another pile under the camera!
The sound in this movie doesn't start until after the 3 short still shots at the beginning. That's Mrs Owl on a hunting perch near the nestbox, taken on a different night.
