Barn Owl boxes - 7th August 2025

 A last visit of the season to two boxes where owlets were too small to ring on the first visit. There were still 3 and 4 in the two boxes. Weights were good and feeding seems to be going well.


Four siblings, youngest to oldest.





Total: 7

Barn Owl pulli 7

This brings our total on this large estate to 25 ringed young from 15 boxes in use. A further 6 young had fledged prior to our visits earlier in July. The owls here seem to be doing okay, unlike so many other areas in the UK.
