This clip shows yet another intrusion from the persistent Tawny Owl, following three strikes between 11pm and 2am over the previous night 7-8th May. The owl appears at 22.17.23 and strikes Dorcha hard, she's obviously aware of its presence as she rises up and mantles just before it appears. It's very quick so this clip is in slow motion 1/4 time. The owl is protecting her young who must be very nearby, but poor Dorcha, who is no threat to them, is getting a barrage of strikes. However, she seems to be coping well with it, and soon settles back down onto the eggs, covering them carefully.
