There's a lot of interest in this barn owl nest box. This evening, for the first time, we have seen a tawny owl inside the barn owl nest box, and its mate looked in too.

The video is best viewed with sound turned on.

A tawny owl makes a first visit to our barn owl nest box

25. February 2025, Wildlife
Show larger version for: Tawny owl perched on the barn owl nestbox ledge

Our first recording of a tawny owl.

We often hear tawny owls hooting, particularly over the last 18 months, but this is the first time we have caught one on camera at our barn owl nest box.

Our barn owl box is designed to suit barn owls, but other birds also show interest in it.
