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 owl 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.
The barn owl pair
Both owls left the box briefly to perch on the ledge, with the female to the left and the male to the right.
Inside the box there are four eggs. This may be the full clutch, or their may be more to come - in a previous year there was a 5-day gap between the laying of the penultimate egg and the last egg.
