ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

Barn owl Orion.
Ever since his first partner, Star, disappeared in 2022, Orion the barn owl has been alone.

Bachelor life
Despite occasionally attracting a mate to his favourite roost at Three Trees in Ash Wood, this barn owl seemed like he would never pair up. Not only did he seem to chase away prospective partners, but his nest box, which was piled high with messy pellets, even looked like a bachelor pad.

New partner
But then last month a new female owl appeared on the scene and Orion was besotted. Watch him dote over her.

Poppy
I've named Orion's new mate Poppy, after the speckles on her breast feathers which look like sprinkled poppy seeds.

A new owl family to watch
I cant wait to see how this new owl family develop. Keep watching my livestreams to see as she lays the rest of her egg clutch.
