An Artist's Research: The pair of barn owls that I have been following have laid their first egg of the season.

The male has a slight yawn - he must have been waiting a long time for this - and then nudges against the female. She duly stands to reveal a perfect white egg. The male looks down at the egg with genuine tenderness. He moves the egg away from the female with his beak before staring at the egg and giving it a few tender taps. He must be checking to see if its a good one! Shortly after the female takes it back under her wing and sits back down on it to start incubabtion. I'll be watching out for the next egg to be laid in 3 or so days time. Hope you've enjoyed watching. Robert E Fuller April 2016
