Heligan Wildlife Camera 1

Day and night viewing inside the Barn Owl Box

This barn owl box is located close to Hannibal's old roost. It has been sited in this barn since the end of last year. A pair of barn owls have nested in this box and are busy feeding three hungry owlets.

Thursday 15th July 2010
We installed this camera today and discovered the owlets are four weeks old.
Monday 19th July 2010
The Barn Owl Trust have arrived to ring the owlets. They will be colour coded rings so should the owlets return to Heligan we will be able to identify them as 2010 chicks.

This natural log bird feeder is stocked with peanuts in the hope of attracting regular visitations from woodpeckers. Keep your eyes peeled for other species too!

Day and night viewing of the Barn Owl Tower

This sustainably constructed tower was erected in 2010 in the hope of attracting barn owls. Although none have so far taken up residence they have been sighted outside the building. Keep your eyes peeled for any visitors or prospective occupants!
