On site we have in residence two barn owls, who can regularly be seen flying around, as well as seeling plenty evidence of where they perch and look out for dinner.

​

Barn Owls historically were the most common owl in Britain, however, today only approximately 1 in 75 farms have a nesting bird.

​

After the installation of two owl hotels at the reserve, we were very happy to find that two birds are in residence. Unfortunately we have removed one temporarily for some repairs, but the 2 birds continue to stay in onsite.

​

As you wander around the reserve, you may see the owls, you will likely hear them also, but you will definitely see evidence of them.

​

Barn owls eat the whole of their prey, but are unable to digest the fur and bones. Instead they regurgitate this in the form of a pellet, made up of these bones and fur, normally about 4 or 5 feeds in each.

​

As you walk around, have a look for these, normally under somewhere the owl could perch, such as on shelters, fence posts, trees, and gates.
