🦉✨ Nest box TLC! Now’s a good time to clear-out Barn Owl boxes, but only once young owls have fully dispersed. Clear out old pellets/debris on a dry, calm day, remembering boxes can be used year-round for roosting. 💚🦉 www.barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owl-nes... #BarnOwls #NestBoxes

The @barnowltrust.bsky.social received a call from a serving member of the Parachute Regiment who was racing in the Round Britain and Ireland Race. A young Barn Owl had been flying behind the boat and had attempted to land on the mast. They were 70 miles offshore c-js.uk/3SmMZ83

🦉 Those long wings aren't just beautiful, they're built for stealth. 💚 Did you know? A Barn Owl's low wing loading lets it glide at slow speeds while listening for the rustle of prey below. Combined with specially adapted feathers, it hunts almost silently. www.barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owl-fac...

👂🦉 Ever seen a Barn Owl’s ear? Barn Owl’s ears sit behind the eyes and they aren’t even level. One ear is slightly higher than the other, helping them pinpoint the exact location of prey moving through grass, even in complete darkness.🌙 #BarnOwl #OwlFacts #WildlifeWednesday #NatureEducation

Barn Owls mainly hunt at night 🌙 In complete darkness, where vision becomes unreliable, the Barn Owl relies on a built-in auditory map of its surroundings, allowing it to strike with accuracy that often surpasses sight-based hunters! ✨👂 More about Barn Owls 👇 www.barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owl-fac...

The video shows the five owlets sitting quietly together, waiting for night to fall and more food to arrive. The smallest fluffy Barn Owlet seems to have had a sudden growth spurt and towers above its siblings! However, this is simply a quirk of the camera lens. @barnowltrust.bsky.social ©TMBG

If you have Barn Owls nesting in your bales, please consider installing a nestbox this autumn. All construction plans and installation information can be found on our website 👇 www.barnowltrust.org.uk/nestboxes/

So...if you are planning to move bales around in the coming weeks, please take a moment first to look for evidence of Barn Owls in the building. Here are a few things to look for: • If a Barn Owl flushes from the building on arrival • Thumb-sized black pellets • Listen for a hissing/rasping sound

120

Barn Owl Trust @barnowltrust.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

we are also hearing more occurrences of them being discovered (often once it's too late) using the cosy dark cavities between stored straw and silage to nest. Barn Owls are legally protected against disturbance whilst nesting, so moving those bales isn't great news for either the farmer or the owls!

Barn Owl Trust @barnowltrust.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUCEMENT ⚠️PLEASE CHECK FOR EVIDENCE OF BARN OWLS BEFORE MOVING YOUR BALES⚠️ A message to all farmers and land managers: Please be extra careful when moving any bales this summer! So far, we are finding 2026 to be a bumper year for Barn Owls... which is fantastic news! However...

⚠️Found a young Barn Owl on the ground? It likely needs your help! 🦉🩹 Unlike Tawny Owls, it is not normal for young Barn Owls to be out of the nest before they can fly.

Barn Owls are highly adapted for successful hunting and are most active at dusk and dawn 🌙, usually leaving their roost site and ‘commuting’ across unsuitable habitat to reach favoured hunting areas, like a patch of rough grassland 🌿 Find out more: www.barnowltrust.org.uk/barn-owl-fac...
