Barn owl nesting 2026

20. April 2026 - Wildlife

Barn owl with 6 eggs, one of which is due to hatch any time now

This year our barn owl pair have six eggs, laid approximately every two days between 30th March and 12th April.

Laying to hatching interval is around 29-32 days, so the first hatchling is likely to appear within the next few days. Keep an eye on the owlcam to see if you can be first to spot it.
