Meet the owls
With summer well underway, we are pleased that our resident barn owls, Seren and Nos, returned to their nest this year!
After not breeding in 2023, they are now raising two chicks. Unfortunately, we are unable to bring you live footage of the nest due to technical difficulties, but will give you regular updates on how the family is doing .You can watch some of the earlier activity below.

Early in July, two healthy male owlets were ringed by licenced bird ringers. This is important work as it helps improve our understanding of barn owl populations and their movements. The very white chest plumage of the owlets identifies them as males, but just visible on the right there are still a few downy feathers.

The beautiful barn owl is, perhaps, our most-loved owl. With its distinctive heart-shaped face, pure white feathers, and ghostly silent flight, it's easy to identify. Look out for it flying low over fields and hedgerows at dawn and dusk.
