Owl’s about that?

Nidderdale Moorland Group
We love seeing the Barn Owls out and about in Nidderdale, from the low ground meadows to upland pastures and right onto the moorlands in the dale, Barn Owls are regularly seen hunting and now is a great time to spot this year's juveniles as they move to find new territories of their own.

The Barn Owl Trust also have a page on their website where you can report any Barn Owl sightings from around the UK which helps to build a picture of how Barn Owl populations are increasing, or decreasing, across the country.

We always enjoy seeing the pictures of our resident Nidderdale Barn Owls and hearing how they are doing, and with more new specialised Barn Owl nest boxes already planned for this coming winter, hopefully the Barn Owls will continue spreading out into new areas of the dale.
