The Owl Eye Spring 2016

The Trust’s female Turkmenian Eagle Owl seems to be spending an increasing amount of time
testing out the nest box now and glowering at everyone who goes anywhere near. Hopefully they will
breed successfully as this species which is a sub species of the Eurasian Eagle Owl, is generally thought to
be extinct in its original Turkmenistan range but still present in parts of Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
The World Owl Centre and Owl Collection
The World Owl Trust has closed it's World Owl Centre in Cumbria and are relocating it to a new site
in the West Midlands. The ground work has already started at the new site and the architect’s plans are
being finalised. We are looking forward to formally announcing further details very shortly.
WOT has the largest collection of owls in the world and we are currently relocating the collection to
temporary accommodation in various locations throughout the UK until the new World Owl Centre
opens.
A selection of our owl collection is on public display at the locations below where visitors, members
and adopters will still be able to view a selection of the collection owls.
We will be updating this page with other venues when the sections containing the owls are opened to
the public. So if you fancy a day out why not call in and say hello.
