The ‘Barn Owl Suitability' maps display the predicted suitability of locations for Barn Owls. The map can be used to plan future Barn Owl conservation action, for example you can find out if installing a nest box in your area is worthwhile.

Find your location - click on your region below to access the Barn Owl Suitability Map.

The development of the habitat suitability map was greatly assisted by Dr Barb Anderson as part of a UK Population Biology Network (UKPopNet) project 'Modelling distribution changes in British animals and plants' which was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (Agreement R8-H12-01), English Nature and latterly by Natural England.
