Barn Owls are birds of prey or raptors – specialised hunters at the top of the food chain, which means that they need to eat prey animals to survive. Prey animals – mainly small mammals – eat other smaller creatures or plants, seeds and fruits. Plants get their energy from the sun, and from rain water, air BARN OWL ADAPTATIONS The owls’ feathers are very soft – another adaptation for quiet flight; The flight feathers are covered in a thin hair-like structure that traps air within the feather surface. This helps to maintain a smooth air-flow across the wings and thereby avoid stalling at very low airspeeds.

BARN OWL NESTBOXES: FREE OWL NEST BOX PLANS Barn Owl nestboxes in the UK should be placed inside rural buildings that overlook open habitat.; Avoid urban, suburban, dense forest and high mountain areas. Avoid sites within 1 km of a motorway or other fast, unscreened, main roads, due to the risk of road-deaths.; Nestboxes do not need to be placed directly on patches or strips of rough grassland as the birds are perfectly capable of REPORT YOUR BARN OWL SIGHTING Report Your Barn Owl Sighting. Over 7,000 people have reported more than 13,000 Barn Owl sightings on our Barn Owl Survey UK website. Launched in 2014, the site provides the opportunity to log records of Barn Owls, dead or alive, anywhere in the UK. Users can create a unique log-on so they can go back and add to their records and viewthem.
BARN OWLS IN SPRING
Barn Owls can breed in their first year. Although nesting has been recorded in every month of the year, most pairs lay eggs only in the spring. Prior to 1990, the average date for the first egg was May 9th. Since then the average date of the first egg has moved forward to April 17th, almost certainly as OWLET IDENTIFICATION AND AGEING Little Owl. white down. (very soft and fluffy). grey/dirty-looking down (white when very small – under 10cm) brown / dirty-looking down. dark eyes, flesh-coloured eye-lids. dark eyes, livid pink eye-lids. pale eyes, flesh-coloured eye-lids. unfeathered toes. LITTLE OWL NESTBOXES Little Owl boxes. The use of nestboxes by Little Owls seems to vary from country to country and county to county. In Wiltshire and in Lincolnshire nestboxes appear to be readily occupied by the birds but in Cheshire they have been slower to use artificial sites. BARN OWL BOXES FOR TREES The dimensions given in the owl box plans below must be treated as the minimum required size. Ideal Barn Owl boxes would be much bigger: a full 1 metre from the bottom of the entrance hole to the bottom of the box and with a floor area of at least 1m x 1m. However, owl boxes that big would be very difficult to erect and more expensive to build. HOW TO BUILD A BARN OWL NESTBOX FOR A TREE How to build a Barn Owl nestbox for a tree. A Barn Owl nestbox in a tree is the next best option if you do not have a suitable building. If you have a suitable tree, a tree box is easier and more practical than a box on a pole.

Please note that some of these nestboxes are not ideal in terms of design; for recommended designs please see Criteria for designs of indoor boxes, tree boxes or pole-mounted nestboxes. UKBARN OWL HOME RANGE
Barn Owl home range What is a Barn Owl home range? The area in which a Barn Owl lives is called its ‘home range’. We don’t use the word ‘territory’ because, unlike some other bird species, such as Tawny Owls, Barn Owls don’t try to defend the area from others of theirown species.
BARN OWL SURVEYS
Our UK online Barn Owl Survey provides non-stop data collection and up-to-date maps showing Barn Owl distribution across the entire UK. With help from BBC Springwatch over 2,800 people have provided over 4,000 Barn Owl sightings (including roost sites and nest sites) in the website’s first 18 months. Report a Barn Owl site or sighting.BARN OWLS IN SUMMER
By 8-9 weeks, owlets will have made their first short flights and by 10 weeks of age most young Barn Owls look like adults and are quite competent flyers. The average number of young that fledge is only 2.5 but where or when food is plentiful, broods of 6 or even 7 have been recorded. During the process of fledging the young repeatedly return BARN OWL BOXES FOR TREES The dimensions given in the owl box plans below must be treated as the minimum required size.

How to build a Tawny Owl nestbox. Use pressure treated (tanalised) 18mm planks, or 18mm softwood ply (known in the building trade as CDX). Please avoid using hardwood ply unless it is stamped ‘FSC Approved’. If pressure treated timber is not available, use a brush-on preservative and ensure that all the edges are treated beforeassembly.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A YOUNG TAWNY OWL A quick guide to finding young Tawny Owls: In almost all cases, by far the best thing is to leave a Tawny owlet where it was found. (Or take it back there – It is very important to remember or find out exactly where the owlet was picked up.) Unless there is something definitely wrong with the owlet, it is far better off remaining ‘in thewild’.
WHAT ARE OWL PELLETS? FACTS FOR KIDS FROM THE BARN OWL TRUST Pellets are the undigested parts of a bird’s food, such as hair or bones, which are regurgitated (coughed up through the beak). Many kinds of birds produce pellets including birds of prey, crows and even sparrows. The appearance depends on what they eat. All owls produce pellets and dissecting them is a great way to find out what different BARN OWL NESTBOX FOR A TREE CUTTING PLAN 8’ x 4’ SHEET PRESSURE TREATED 9mm FSC plywood Approx. 1/4 sheet 520mm or 20.5” left over 250mm or 9.8” 130mm 2 or 5”x 5” Distance from top of box to top of holeNAVIGATION
