Wild birds at Rutland Falconry and Owl Centre

Finch species, Song and Mistle Thrushes, Treecreepers, Wrens and Robins have all enjoyed safe nesting sites actually constructed on or inside the structure of the birds of prey enclosures.

Hole nesting birds have also made a comeback using the artificial nesting boxes provided. Species include Wren, Robin, Blue, Great and more importantly Coal and Marsh Tits.
