Owl hole information


An owl hole at Lugton Ridge Farm, Auchentiber.

An owl hole is a structural entrance built into buildings (such as mills and barns) to allow predatory birds, typically barn owls (Tyto alba), to enter. The birds prey on farm vermin, and therefore benefit the human owner of the structure in a symbiotic relationship.
