Latest from the owl tower

31 March 2025

A warm welcome back to viewers of our owl tower live feed!

Viewers will have noticed we are still having occasional problems with the camera. In the absence of a live feed, we have added a static picture from the tower which is refreshed every 10 minutes. We hope that this will be more stable for the time being.

We have noticed fewer visits by the barn owls this winter. Usually they increase as we get nearer to the first egg date.

We still see the nest occupied overnight but this has been rare recently.

It is still not too late for a pair to take up residence.

The most likely reason for their absence is one of the birds has perished or moved away with another partner.

In which case, the remaining adult has to find a new partner.

So all is not lost, but we would like to see some occupancy in the next two weeks.
