A Cornish Wildlife story from Butterwell Farm: Nea

A Cornish Wildlife story from Butterwell Farm:
Nearly 8 years ago we put an owl box up in a tree, a gift from Rachel’s 90 year old Nanna. We never expected anything to nest in it but if she visited she would be able to see it from her chair. Over the last 7 years we never noticed any activity at the box, although Tawny families have always been present in the trees surrounding the Butterwell properties.
Last month wildlife photographer, @grahamstewart6 , staying in Apple Tree Cottage spotted an adult Tawny peeping out (and he got a great photo!) We kept an eye hoping that finally the box was being used.
Two days later, the box was on the floor!
Sam found the box rotted out and 3 baby owls on the floor. The weight of droppings and the babies had finished the box off. Sam quickly put together a new box - this time they have a solid oak floor! He got it back in the tree along with the owlets and some fresh bedding. The adult owl was observed returning to the box and the owlets went on to thrive and fledge.
Big thanks to @screech_owl_sanctuary for the reassurance that we did the right thing.
To experience exceptional wildlife on your doorstep, book a stay @butterwellfarm riverside holiday properties and 40-acre private wildlife estate on the River Camel in Cornwall.

Have you always wanted to cycle the Camel Trail in

Have you always wanted to cycle the Camel Trail in Cornwall? 🚲 Butterwell Farm self-catering accommodation on the Camel Trail couldn’t be more convenient to cycle the famous 18 mile trail running from Padstow to Bodmin Moor.
The Camel Trail is the most cycled off road trail in the UK and it’s easy to see why with its spectacular and varied scenery from coastal to estuary to woodland and forest. The trail is almost completely flat making it accessible and fun for all abilities and ages.

Fishing starts at Butterwell 1st May 🎣
Night fly fishing for sea trout 🌚🐟
Check out all the action with @butterwell_fishery
This is “The Butterwell Special” 🪰 which has been designed with guests and is a very successful pattern. It’s a variation in the Silver Stoats Tail and has a secret weapon tied on flexible nylon or wire to discourage airborne sea trout from throwing the hook! Larger versions with some flash and lumi for darker nights and tinged water will often account for the large early run fish. We have a good stock of these flies for anglers to purchase.
