穀倉貓頭鷹（BOs）不行。棕鴞（Tawnies）或許可以，但白鼬（stoats）太好鬥，實在不值得冒險。

BOs, no. Tawnies *could* but the stoats are too feisty to be worth it.

黃褐色鴞（tawny owl）／穀倉貓頭鷹（barn owl）會攻擊貂（stoat）嗎？牠們看起來有點太大隻了。我們以前在這裡看過這種情況嗎？

will tawnies / barn owls go after stoats? they seem a bit big. have we seen that before here?

貂在地面上總是會贏，但貓頭鷹則能從空中取勝。

The stoats will always win on the ground, but the owls from the sky.

小貂，加油拉啊，加油！（Pull little stoat pull!）

Pull little stoat pull!

啊啊啊，Bandita 又活過來了！！！

aaaand Bandita lives again!!!

牠在附近逗留了幾分鐘，你可以在 FP 畫面的底部看到牠。

He lingers around for a few minutes, you can see him at the bottom of the FP screen

景深（depth of field）和對焦讓牠很難看清楚。

Depth of field focus makes it hard to see

也可能是一隻雉雞（pheasant）。

or colud be a Phesant

另外，Groot 後面還有一隻兔子或野兔（bunny or hare），算是額外的驚喜。

There is also a bunny or hare behind groot as an added bonus

對我來說，能在白天看到牠們真的很少見（novel）。

Very novel for me to see them in daylight

很高興又看到迷宮牆附近有白鼬（stoat）。

Good to see a stoat around maze wall again

還有那個奇怪的降落方式，有點側著降落。

and the strange landing style, sorta sideways

我看到牠飛掠而過（fly-by）。

I saw the fly by

我想同一時間在 Groot 後面有一隻野兔（hare）。

a hare behind groot at the same time i think

抱歉，我提到 rescue，是因為她在這次直播的餵食貼文中比較晚才出現。

Sorry I mentioned rescue because she came in later on the feeding post during the current live 😅

@ForrestBooks 謝謝。正如我所想，只是我不明白 kaw 為什麼提到 UFO7，接著又說是救援個體。

@ForrestBooks Ty. As I thought, but couldn’t understand kaw mentioning UFO7 then rescue.

我們用兩種不同的縮寫來標示未知身分的貓頭鷹：BL 代表已戴環（ringed），UFO 代表未戴環（unringed）。

we have two different abbreviations for unknown owls - BL is for ringed, UFO is unringed

那些救援個體都有戴腳環（ringed），一直都是如此。

the rescues were ringed, they always are

那隻鼬（stoat）衝出來吃晚餐，差點撞上 REF 的腿。

The stoat came dashing out for some supper and almost ran I to REF'S legs

@kaw，今年在 BOT 的救援個體沒有戴腳環（ringed）嗎？

@kaw Were the rescues in BOT this year not ringed ?

有可能——老實說我不知道——我很不擅長辨識（hopeless at ID）😅

Could be - I honestly don’t know - I’m hopeless at ID 😅

我想左邊的是新來的救援個體，另一隻可能是？Gylfie。

I think it was new rescue on the left, and possibly ? Gylfie

UFO 貓頭鷹（UFO owls）都沒有腳環（ring）。

UFO owls have no ring

這些 UFO（UFO）讓人很困惑！她是今年那隻曾在 BOT（BOT）出現的救援個體嗎？

These UFO’s are confusing! Is she this years rescue who was in BOT?

也許那隻獲救的雌性穀倉貓頭鷹（female rescue barn owl）應該取名叫 Sprinkle，因為她正坐在細雨（sprinkle of rain）中。

Maybe the female rescue barn owl should get the name, Sprinkle because she's sitting in the sprinkle of rain

看起來像是她，因為她身上有斑點（speckles）。

Looks like her with her speckles

「誰也不准通過」（none shall pass），Glorff。

"none shall pass" glorff

雞隻的銅色守衛（copper warden of the chicken）。

copper warden of the chicken

很高興又看到 Jasper 了（Good to see Jasper again）。

Good to see Jasper again

牠昨晚很享受下雨，真是可愛又讓人疼愛（bless him）❤️ 看起來牠在想：這間雞肉店（chicken shop）什麼時候開門啊？🤭

He was enjoying the rain last night, bless him ❤️ Looks like he’s thinking when does this chicken shop open 🤭

牠看起來不介意下雨！

He doesn’t seem to mind the rain!

Ginge／Copper 的畫面真棒（What a great ...），他好漂亮 ❤️

What a great ts of Ginge/Copper he is beautiful ❤️

@FlyingFoxMeep 謝謝你提供這位新男孩的時間點（TS, timestamp）。我一直希望能在白天（daylight）看到他。

@FlyingFoxMeep Ty for TS of the new boy. I’ve been hoping to see him in daylight.

我剛剛隱約聽到 Luna（Luna）的聲音，就在 Shadow（Shadow）飛離 FP（FP）後一秒。

Just subtly heard Luna a second after Shadow flew off the FP

我聽到 Shadow（Shadow）的聲音。

I hear a Shadow

如果我沒記錯，Finn 的翅膀也曾經是那種白色。（if I remember right）

Finn had white wings like that too, if I remember right

而且尾巴顏色很淡。（pale tail）

and a pale tail

我想，他目前是我們顏色最偏薑黃色的貓頭鷹。（our most ginger owl at the moment）

our most ginger owl atm i think

他的羽毛有一點像 Howard。（a bit of Howard in his feathers）

he has a bit of howard in his feathers

我看了 Ghost 五年，還是沒辦法可靠地辨認牠；但新來的這隻我反而認得出來。（reliably ID）

can't reliably ID Ghost after looking at him for 5 years, but the new guy I get 😂

……我到底怎麼會真的猜對這次？我只看過那隻鳥大概兩次而已。（how in the world）

... how in the world was i actually right on that one, i've seen that bird like twice 😵‍💫

這麼早出來真是冒了很大的風險。（taking a big risk）

taking a big risk being out so early

他的頭蓬鬆得不得了。（fluffy head）

he has such a fluffy head

就是他。（That’s him）

Thats him @ForrestBooks

我看起來覺得是公鳥，翅膀顏色非常淡——也許是我們新來的救援男孩？（new rescue boy）

looked like a male to me, very pale on the wings - maybe our new rescue boy?

沒錯，我也想知道到底是誰（hoo）。

indeed i wonder hoo it was

非常謝謝你提供那段日間穀倉貓頭鷹（daylight BO）的時間點，Meep；牠們真的好美：🦉

Thank you so much for that daylight BO TS Meep, they're so beautiful:_Barnowl:

不久後，一隻雄性紅隼（male kestrel）停上了棲木（perch）。

a male kestrel takes the perch shortly after

喔喔，好美的日間穀倉貓頭鷹（daylight BO）😀

ohh, beautiful daylight BO 😀

我同意，事實上 Luna 絕對不准在鏡頭外（off cam）築巢，否則我會太想念那些小貓頭鷹（towlets）了 😂 這是直播（streams）中我最喜歡的時節之一 🥰

I agree, in fact Luna is absolutely forbidden from nesting off cam, I would miss the towlets too much 😂 It's one of my favourite times of year on the streams 🥰

謝謝你，Forrest——很期待看看她今年會有什麼動態。希望不要都在鏡頭外（off cam）就好 😅

Thanks Forrest - looking forward to see what she’ll do this year. Hopefully not off cam 😅

我覺得那應該是之前那位 Tawny 太太（Mrs Tawny），已經是很久以前的事了。

I think that would've been the previous Mrs Tawny, it was a while back

她以前不是也曾在 Elm 那裡築巢過嗎，Forrest？還是那是第一任 Bomber 太太？還是我只是憑空想像的？！

Didn't she nest in Elm once Forrest? Or was that the first Mrs Bomber? Or am I just imagining things?!

抱歉，我剛剛離開了一下！是的，Luna 以前曾在畫面外的箱子（off-cam boxes）裡築巢，應該有兩次。至少我確定知道一次，是在 2020 年。

Sorry, I wandered off! Yes, Luna has nested in offcam boxes previously. I think twice. Definitely once that I know of, in 2020.

Luna 以前曾在其他地方築巢（have nests）嗎？

Has Luna ever had nests in other places before?

謝謝你，Forrest，確實如此。他們可能不會把那裡視為「自己的」（theirs），但或許開始把它評估為之後可用的潛在安全地點（potential safe place）；當然，我想應該還有其他地方也是如此。

Thanks Forrest :)) yes indeed they won’t view it as ‘theirs’ but they’re probably starting to assess it as a potential safe place for later , well together with other places, I assume

07:02，Luna 在山毛櫸樹（beech）旁眺望她的領地（territory）。

7 02 Luna at beech looking over her territory

嗨，請不要使用全大寫（all caps）打字，這違反直播規則 🙂

hello, please do not type in allcaps, it's against the stream rules 🙂

因為你不可能在黑暗中「看見」（see／C）。

CUS YOU CAN'T "C" IN THE DARK

為什麼 dark 的拼法是用 k，而不是 c？

WHY DO THEY SPELL DARK WITH A K INSTEAD OF A C

牠們並沒有真正的所有權（concept of ownership）概念；我們把 Beech 想成「Luna 的家」，但那其實是人類把自己的想法投射（projection）到牠們身上。

they don't exactly have a concept of ownership, we think of beech as "Luna's house" but that's projection on our part

牠們大概知道，但現在不是繁殖季（breeding season），而且牠們也沒有在使用巢，所以應該不會太在意。

they probably know, but since it's not breeding season and they're not using the nest, they won't care too much

我想知道 Luna 和 Shadow 是否知道 Beech 這裡有這麼多來來去去的人（comings and goings）。如果牠們白天棲息（roosted）在附近的樹枝上，不知道是否看得到這一切。

I wonder if Luna and Shadow are aware of all these comings and goings in Beech. If they’re roosted somewhere in the nearby branches during the day.

現在穴居的寒鴉（jackdaws）也進去了……寒鴉（JD）對上松鼠，這是「鳩占鵲巢者大戰」嗎？

and now the jackdaws are in there... JD vs Squirrel, battle of the squatters?

只是 Athena 可能還需要一點時間，才會重新有信心在那裡栖息（roosting）。

it just might take a little time for Athena to feel confident roosting there again

那隻松鼠已被驅離（evicted）；REF 清除了牠在巢箱裡堆放的築巢材料，牠也已經離開到別處。昨天下午 Athena 和她的伴侶 Apollo 都曾造訪巢位，因此我們知道牠們平安無事。

The squirrel was evicted (REF cleared its nesting materials out of the nestbox) and has gone elsewhere. Athena and her mate Apollo both visited the nest yesterday afternoon, so we know they're okay,

嗨，@markrewcroft3908，Athena 沒事喔 💚 她停止在 Ash Hollow 栖息（roosting），因為巢位被一隻灰松鼠（grey squirrel）霸占了。週四牠突然襲擊 Athena，讓她措手不及（caught her by surprise），但她成功逃脫了。

Hi @markrewcroft3908, Athena is okay 💚 She stopped roosting at Ash Hollow because the nest was taken over by a grey squirrel. It caught her by surprise and attacked her on Thursday, but she got away.

那隻原本在樹洞入口曬太陽（roasting）的紅隼（kestrel）去哪裡了？她突然消失了，我現在有點擔心她還好嗎？我想她叫雅典娜（Athena）。她之前在那裡待了一段時間，但現在不見了。

where has the kestrel gone who was roasting in the tree entrance has vanished all of a sudden I wonder now if she's ok ?? I think its athena she was there for some time but now she's gone .

我覺得那也是 Luna，因為她的眼睛不會反射光線（doesn't reflect light），這是因為過去曾受過眼傷（old eye injury）。

I think that was Luna since her eye doesn't reflect light due to an old eye injury

我也覺得是 Luna :)) 喜歡她在 Beech Stump 停一下，觀察周遭景色（survey the landscape），趁白天的生物（daytime creatures）接管這裡之前先看看四周。

I think it’s Luna too :)) love how she takes a moment on Beech Stump to survey the landscape before the daytime creatures take over

希望大家都好。我昨晚看了 REF 的一部影片，內容似乎是 Gylfie 和 Finn 的雛鳥；其中一隻雛鳥離巢（fledged）後就再也沒被看見。REF 在 Ash Wood 發現了穀倉貓頭鷹（BO，barn owl）的羽毛，當時有一隻狐狸正在附近徘徊（on the prowl）。

I hope well, I was watching a REF video last night of I think Gylfie and Finns chicks, one chick fledged and was never seen again, REF found BO Feathers in Ash Wood where a fox was on the prowl

我很好奇 Oak 和 Acorn 最近過得如何。

I wonder how Oak and Acorn are doing.

我們需要一份書面指南（written guide），說明 Fotherdale 和 Ash Wood 目前發生的事情。

We need a written guide as to whats happening in Fotherdale and Ash Wood

我還在適應 Gylfie 和 Luna 有了新的伴侶（partners）。

still getting used to gylfie and Luna having new partners

等繁殖季（breeding season）就會知道了。了解 Percy 的習性（habits）以及牠對蛋的興趣，會很有意思。

We’ll find out during the breeding season. It will be interesting to learn about Percy’s habits and his interest in eggs.

這裡去年有了很多變化，過去幾個月的變化甚至更多，讓人很難跟上。這些新名字、離開的成員，以及死亡消息太多了。我需要補一下 Fotherdale 的背景軼聞（lore）。

there's been so much change around here last year and even less just the last few months it's hard to keep up. all these new names and departures and deaths. I need to catch up on my fotherdale lore

黃褐色貓頭鷹（Tawnies）清晨的對話（early morning conversation）。

Tawnies with their early moring conversation

牠們又開始空中狗鬥（aerial dog fights）了。

Here they go again with the ariel dog fights

對，我不知道；我覺得那可能是 Dryer 的特質，Percy 會有他自己的個性。

Yeah I dont know, I think maybe that was a Dryer thing, Percy will have his own traits

我很好奇，到了繁殖季，Percy 對 Gylfie 的蛋會不會像 Dryer 當時那麼感興趣。

I wonder if Percy will be as interested in Gylfie eggs during the breeding season as the Dryer was.

你知道，第一次交往時你會非常投入；到了第四個，就會變成「嗯……還好啦」（meh）。

you know your really keen with your first Girl/boyfriend by the 4th your like.... meh

你知道嗎，我不覺得她是在找他；反而比較像是他更常找她。我想這是年紀造成的。

You know what, I dont think, she looks for him, he looks for her more, I think it's age

我喜歡她那副管家婆似的霸氣（bossy boots）。

I like that she's such a bossy boots

她可能是在等 Percy。

She’s probably waiting for Percy.

一隻白鼬（stoat）在草地上蹦蹦跳跳。

Stoat bounding around the gras

我喜歡她的雙下巴（double chin）。

@xavierrs7415 I like her double chin.

黑白畫面（B&W）中比較難辨認，而且她沒有面向鏡頭時更是如此！

Harder to tell in B&W and when she doent face the camera!

對，是她。

Yes, it’s her.

是 Gylfie 嗎？

Is it Gylfie?

Gylfie（吉爾菲）。

Gylfie

像是把一個剛被從追逐遊戲（chasies）中叫出來的小孩，而且還有點亢奮。

a small child when you pull them out of a game of chasies and there still a little hyped up

我家後院現在到處都是我看到的普通黑鸝離巢幼鳥（common blackbird fledglings），牠們正蹦蹦跳跳地活動著。

I have all my common blackbird fledgelings out bobbing around my back yard currently

雛鳥（chicks）很特別。幾個月前，我在公園拍了一些紅翅黑鸝（red-winged blackbirds）的離巢幼鳥（fledglings）照片。牠們當時正在學著停在樹枝上（branching）。照片不太上相，但牠們非常好奇，哈哈。

bird chicks are very special. I have some photos of "fledgling" red wing blackbirds at the park from a few months ago. They were branching. Not very photogenic but very curious lol

這些雛鳥（chicks）很有個性（character）。

The chicks have so much charter about them

野生鳥類是上天的恩賜（blessings），但牠們確實也會帶來一些挑戰，不過我們還是很愛牠們。

wild birds are blessings but they bring challenges too for sure, though we love them

我只是來看看大家所說的「我的」墨爾本隼（Melb Falcons），牠們目前狀況不錯；牠們搬到排水溝的另一端，而令人驚訝的是，牠們很快就把那裡弄得一團糟、到處都是糞便。

Just checking out as some on here wouls say "my" Melb Falcons, there doing ok, the moved to the other end of the gutter and it's amazing how quick they make a mess and poop it up

哈哈，我一定會分享；如果拍到貓頭鷹，可能只會分享到這裡的群組，因為拍到貓頭鷹絕對在我的人生願望清單上。

hah I will for sure, probably only share it with the class here if I get an owl photo which is definitely on my bucket list

我會說今天的亮點是拍到一張很清晰的嘲鶇（mockingbird）照片，還在公園拍到一隻嘴裡叼著堅果的藍松鴉（blue jay）。

i'd say highlight today was a sharp mockingbird photo and I got a blue jay with a nut in its beak at the park

今天早上拍了一些鳥類照片，剛才日落時又去附近的公園拍了更多照片。

took some bird pictures this morning then went to my local park for more pictures at sunset just a little while ago

更正：雄鳥（male）。

male*
