A happy home
For the past three years, our barn owl box in the Blackdown Hills has been inhabited by our barn owl couple - Finn and Trude - and the previous two years Finn and his other lady owl, Orla.
We are so delighted that Finn and Trude have hatched 4 fabulous owlets this year. They are on the brink of fledging so we're expecting a bit of a barn owl circus in the barn as they flap about finding their wings to venture out on their own.
Join the active conversations with our fabulous community below on Disqus or sign up to our Barn Owl Box Bulletin for 2024 to receive regular monthly emails keeping you updated on Finn and Trude's love story. Sign up here!
Although we are almost at the end of the season, we're looking ahead to ensure we fund the feed for the next! We have a great livestream corporate sponsorship package to offer one company for the next season - please email kirby.everett@somersetwildlife.org for more information!
If we want to still see beautiful creatures such as barn owls in the future, we need to make sure we look after the places they call home. We hope they connect you to nature, entertain you and inspire you to take action for nature where you live!

We have no control over user accounts or the comments they make. Very occasionally we get unsavoury spam from Disqus users on this board which, depending on the settings of individuals' Disqus settings some will see and others will not. Whenever we see anything arise via the SWT account, we will immediately block and report users so they are unable to do so again. We recommend that those that do make use of the comments board here check their own Disqus settings also to minimise this occurring.
