🦉 Could the Barn Owl become the face of a future Bank of England banknote?

The Bank of England has shortlisted the Barn Owl as one of the UK wildlife species that could appear on the next series of banknotes — and the public now has the chance to vote.

For the World Owl Trust, this is a wonderful opportunity to see one of Britain’s most iconic and much-loved owls recognised nationally. Barn owls are a powerful symbol of our countryside, but they also remind us how important it is to protect habitats, support conservation, and value the wildlife we share our landscapes with.

The consultation is open until 11:59pm BST on Friday 3 July 2026, and you can choose up to two animals in each category.

Please take a moment to vote for the Barn Owl here:

Let’s help put an owl on the money! 🦉💷

Tell us which animals you would like to see on our next series of banknotes by 3 July 2026

🙌🙌🙌THEY DID IT 🙌🙌🙌

Hi Everyone
I can’t believe it’s a whole week since The Crazy Coopers completed their ultramarathon ratracehq
to raise funds for two worthy charities
It’s been a full on week and time has slipped away from me, with volunteers days and appointments with builders and suppliers etc
Brad and Richard completed the 70 mile run in an outstanding 19hours 59 minutes and 20 hours respectively. They had some low moments but more so had some amazing times and personal bests. On the whole they were ok
They also had some outstanding blisters that I’m sure could only be equalled by fellow crazy ultramarathon runners.
FULL STORY TO FOLLOW IN THE NEXT MEMBERS NEWSLETTER.
It’s not too late to donate. The link is still open and attached below. Please dig deep. They did!!!
