Conservation Mission
Help Protect Barn Owls
As spring begins, paired Barn Owls will roost together in a potential nest site. If the pair are successful then eggs will follow, sometimes in March, more often in April, but also in May or summer. The site will usually be familiar to one or both owls, and an established pair will have bred there over consecutive years. This is because Barn Owls are highly site faithful.
Barn Owls are most sensitive to disturbance when they are just beginning to breed, so care must be taken around their nest sites. Recording a Barn Owl nest site on this survey provides incredibly valuable information that enables us to promote their conservation during a critical time.
