Barn Owl Nest Box, The Old Barn

Inside the Whisky-Barrel Nest Box

This one-of-a-kind nest box, crafted from a recycled whisky barrel, is mounted in the roof space of an old barn and stable building. Multiple 4K CCTV cameras and microphones capture every rustle, screech and wing-stretch, giving an exceptionally close window onto a wild barn owl family that would otherwise be hidden from view.

Meet Buster & Roxy

The resident male, Buster, shares the box with his mate Roxy and their brood of owlets. The camera follows the natural rhythms of nest life — the adults returning with prey, the chicks jostling and growing, and the quiet hours of rest that define a barn owl's existence.

Wildlife of the Peak District

Set within the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, the barn sits amid rolling pasture bounded by traditional dry stone walls — classic barn owl hunting country. The wider estate is home to badgers, foxes and deer, part of a thriving patch of English countryside wildlife.

A Real-Time Nature Feed

Turn on the sound for the full experience: this is a genuine live feed, not a recording, streaming continuously from the nest. It offers a reliable, up-close reference for anyone fascinated by owl behaviour and the everyday drama of a wild nest.
