I was looking in the right place, but just was not able to see them through the leaves. I did not venture out today, but will take another look when it stops raining.

Exactly halfway between these landmarks there is a bench on the west side of the path. Stand on the path in front of the bench, at the right end of the bench as you face it. Look west at right angles to the path. Very slightly to the right of this line is a big horse chestnut tree with a broken top that is visible through the branches. This is the owls' nest tree. Between the path and the nest tree, slightly to the south of the bench, is a crooked line of four horse chestnut trees roughly parallel to the path. The owls and owlets are likely to be in either the nest tree or on the middle two of the line of four trees. But they are quite hard to see now, and you have to walk round and round these trees at various distances, looking carefully.
