Images like this aren’t just chanced upon; it’s clear that you’ve put in a lot of time in the field in order to be prepared to capture these. Well done, sir!

Great set of images of these owl chicks. Is it normal for the chicks to fledge at this age—they look awfully young, just judging from their feathers?
It is normal. They are safer sitting up in the trees but this little one didn't quite have the strength to climb yet.

Wow that last one Henrik, those eyes are doing a lot of talking.
#2 is just the bomb
Is there an owl in #3?
Given the light and conditions you rendered these wonderfully. Let's hope the strong survive!
Excellent set my friend
Karl
Thanks pal, always appreciated.
Re #3 - no, it's just a tree for all the wood enthusiasts out there.

Terrific photos of an owl in some trouble. I hope predators are kept away until the fledgling can actually fly. That last shot is heart breaking.
We need daily updates!

Thanks Dave. If only I could provide daily updates. Hopefully the little fluff eventually made it to the relative safety of the surrounding trees. It certainly made many valiant efforts so fingers crossed.
