Barn Owl

I checked on a Barn Owl site I found last year, being concerned about its fate during the recent severe weather. The owl roosts in a deep, narrow vertical cleft in a quarry face, but wasn't present. However, there were signs of recent activity, including fresh pellets and droppings.

While reassuring to know that this individual seems to be okay. it would be even better to confirm that it was part of a breeding pair.

  1. Always great to find and i found one once in a cravis and made me jump and at the time thought this would be the last place you find one and just shows.

  2. Similar experience with a pair in a small quarry - would never had found them if it wasn't for a stray cat that set them off hissing.
