On the family farm we have been busy providing habitats for the next owl breeding season.
We obtained funding and support to install another barn owl box on the farm in Egerton, with help from the Countryside Partnership.
The site for the barn owl box was carefully selected in an area of grassland which is under low intensity management through a mid-tier stewardship scheme. This traditional permanent grassland habitat provides perfect foraging conditions for barn owls and we look forward to monitoring them over the coming months, in hope that barn owls might take up residence in time for the 2023 breeding season.
