A special guest lives on our property: the little owlThis small, charming owl also hunts during the day and feels at home in the Achterhoek landscape. Thanks to an enthusiastic guest, who in December 2020 a little owl box has sponsored, these birds have found a safe place here – and with success!
Young barn owls: a great success
In July 2021 the first two young little owls were ringed, and in 2022 even three followed. A beautiful result that shows how much the barn owls feel at home here. In 2023 the box even produced four young owls. Unfortunately, 2024 without breeding success, after the box fell from the tree during a storm. We hope that the little owls will soon move back into our little owl box and find a safe breeding place again.
Watch the barn owls live
Curious about life in and around the barn owl box? In the spring, when the little owls move back here, our live stream online. You can then here watch the activities live in and outside the closet.
