Peak District Retreat Blog

A blog to share some items of interest about the Retreat and its environment - wildlife or other nature notes and images, or maybe something else. Our barn own nest box has three cameras so barn owls will certainly feature in our blog, but so will other birds and other wildlife.

We do not commit to regular updates, rather we intend to post items of particular interest when they arise. We do have quite a back catalogue of past images which we may post to ‘back-fill’ the blog, while generally keeping the entries in chronological order.

Barn owl with sun behind

Our resident barn owl returns to the nest box early one morning, bringing some prey with her.

A snap of our barn owl ("ours" in that she is using our box frequently as a day time roost) with the sun behind her as she lands, and with a vole held in her right foot.
