Barn Owl Support Suffolk
@sbgbarnowls.bsky.social
A Suffolk Bird Group initiative to preserve and build on the success of the Suffolk Community Barn Owl Project. Advice on installing, repairing, and maintaining Barn Owl boxes. Support for Barn Owl rescue.
Black Friday is all about spending — but how about sustainability over spending this year? 🌿
Go green instead: sponsor a Barn Owl box, plant a tree,🌳 or boost local habitat. Little actions, big impact. Treat nature this weekend — she deserves it. 💚🦉

At it again… another barn owl box going up! 🦉💪 With habitat like this, who could resist giving the owls a new des-res? Huge thanks to our brilliant volunteers for keeping Suffolk’s owls in style. Here’s hoping the new tenants approve! 🦉

A rare break in the rain = one very content barn owl catching some rays! 🌤️🦉
We’re getting more sightings reported lately, which is a really positive sign. Thanks to everyone who shares their owl moments with us — please keep them coming! 💛

As the weather cools, barn owls can save precious energy by hunting from perches. If you’ve got the land—and are lucky enough to have owls nearby—popping in a few posts can really help them this winter. A small boost for a magical bird! 🦉 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Second box up today for the Biodiversity in Melton project! At this rate the owls will need a waiting list. Huge thanks to Melton for working with us — fingers crossed for a very successful season and some feathery new tenants soon 🦉✨ @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Thought it was just one noisy owl on camera 🎥 — then two more burst out behind it! Box mayhem caught by one of our brilliant hosts. 🦉✨ @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

A grand day out at the Mansion House in Ipswich for Discovery Day! BOSS was there with the other brilliant Suffolk Bird Group projects — and the barn owl pellet dissections stole the show! Curious young minds, tweezers at the ready, and plenty of “ewws” and “wows”! 🦉🔍 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Full steam ahead! We’re busy getting owl boxes up before winter sets in — giving our feathery friends plenty of time to find their new homes well before next year’s breeding season. Ladders out, tools at the ready, and spirits sky-high! 🦉 🍁 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Who says we’re just about Barn Owls? Sometimes a Tawny needs a hand (or a ladder). One cosy box, safely relocated and ready for occupancy! 🦉🔧 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

A fun afternoon in primary school: owls got new names—Tawny was crowned the Invisible Owl, LEO became the Bunny Owl 🐰🦉. After much debate (and giggles), the final poll crowned the Barn Owl as the kids’ favourite. Democracy in action, feathered edition!

Thanks to one of our brilliant Barn Owl people for this gem — adult owl checking out its old nest box. ✨Young have flown, house is empty, and it looks like they’re moving back in for the winter. ❄️ A true case of ‘returning to the nest’ 🦉 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social
