Today Cherryfield Ecology went to a little barn complex in Bedfordshire. A bat survey had already been done, but the client was worried that he had seen barn owl on site and wanted it checked out.
Category: Barn Owl Survey
Date: June 2018
Although no nests were located barn owl had been using the site (see picture) and I found small numbers of pellets scattered across the barns floor.
Cherryfield has made recommendations for installing barn owl boxes to the rear of the barn facing the hunting habitat behind the site, thus allowing continued use of the area for owls in the future and possibly nesting if the conditions are right!
