Welcome to our blog


Being new to blogging, we will do our best to keep our readers updated on what goes on at the Centre & also what results we achieve when out and about in the countryside at project sites supporting Barn Owls & other species of Owls & Birds of Prey.

News will also be about the captive bred birds we work with & support, wild rescues that come in & returned back to the wild, our bird of prey experiences, fundraising events and not forgetting the development updates showing how we are progressing with the new Centre.

Starting from today, this was a typical Monday with loads of exciting things being organised for the weeks ahead, more about this later.

On the development front, our new bird aviaries, which will be replacing our present aviaries are coming on brilliantly, this is very exciting because the birds will have new aviaries to move into, hopefully for Christmas. The frame work of all aviaries are now up and the roof timbers are now being fixed in place, following on from this is the timber cladding being fixed on the walls & the dividing partitions. More will follow as we progress towards completion.
