First Barn Owl egg of 2017 laid 24 March


The first Barn Owl egg of 2017 was laid on 24th March in one of our owl boxes fitted with a camera.

This is a couple of weeks earlier than in previous years, and is hopefully the precursor to a productive breeding year in 2017.

Diary:
1st egg: laid 24 March;    hatched 25 April
7th egg: laid 7 April;       hatched 8 May
