First Barn Owl egg of 2026...

 ...  we've received a report on 24th March from one of our camera boxes that a Barn Owl pair has laid their first egg.

This is a fairly typical date for an early nesting pair. Our nest box checks later in the year may reveal an earlier start to egg-laying elsewhere.

Hopefully this is a portent of a productive breeding year to come.
