With today being World Environment Day, we wanted to show the challenges local wildlife face as a result of the changing environment.

A large part of what we do is the rescue and rehabilitation of injured birds from the wild - these Barn Owlets are no exception.

In May, the extreme heat was too much for them, causing them to leave the nest prematurely, suffering from heatstroke. Thankfully, they were brought in to our care where we were able to get them cooled down and in much better shape.

In several weeks time, these young owls will be heading back out into the wild, having survived this unprecedented weather with quite the story to tell! 💚

Tache-tastic selfies only! 🥸🦉📸

These stiff, bristle-like feathers may look like a moustache, but they’re actually known as ‘crines’!

Owls, like Margaret here, have poor eyesight up close, and use these feathers to feel and guide food into their mouth!

If you hear Lucy making this sound, look up! ⬆️👀

This loud and repetitive call acts as an alarm, informing nearby falcons of the potential danger, while warning the intruders that they should think twice about being in the area!🚨🦅

Mambo’s going with the flow! 🌊🦉

Having easy access to such a scenic location right next to our centre makes for a unique flying environment for our birds - but it’s nothing Mambo can’t handle!

Today is International Biodiversity Day! 🌱🐾

Supporting local wildlife starts at the bottom of the food chain - by creating bug hotels around our site, we can provide a suitable place for insect populations to flourish!

Acting locally helps towards a global impact, which is something our Young Falconers had in mind when constructing these awesome hotels!

Turn up your volume and listen closely! 🔊

You can see Winston the Barn Owl flying past, but can you hear him? 👀👂🏼

Serrated edges on their wings reduce turbulence from the air, allowing Barn Owls to fly in near silence! 🤫🪽

POV: Hector thinks you’re a snack!

Fun Fact: Tawny Owls have such a diverse diet that they’ve been known to prey on small mammals, insects, and even small fish and amphibians! 🦉🐸
