This page features our beautifully crafted Barn Owl Weathervane. Designed with bird and nature enthusiasts in mind, it captures a striking Barn Owl in flight as it swoops down to the ground. Because every weathervane is hand-drawn by a professional artist, we can happily make design alterations at no extra cost.
Living and working in rural Scotland, we are surrounded by wildlife. From our garden, we often hear Tawny Owls calling across the valley, occasionally joined by the eerie screech of Barn Owls close by in the farm yard. With so much natural inspiration, creating this owl-themed weathervane felt wonderfully fitting. A few years ago, our Volvo was written off after mice chewed through an inaccessible tangle of wiring—so in many ways, this design is a tribute to all the owls working hard to keep the local rodent population under control!
Black Fox Metalcraft’s bird-themed weathervanes blend artistry with long-lasting durability. We take pride in creating gifts for nature lovers that will endure and be appreciated for many years.
Each weathervane is cut from high-quality sheet steel and TIG welded by a skilled professional in our UK workshop. We also take the extra step of applying a zinc electroplate finish, which increases the life of the piece by decades compared with non-electroplated alternatives. Finally, a tough matt black powder coat, baked at 170 degrees, gives the work the timeless look of traditional wrought iron.
Designed and crafted entirely in the UK, Black Fox Metalcraft's weathervanes are all electroplated as standard, meaning their lifespan will be significantly longer than that of a non electroplated version. The matt black powdercoat gives a traditional aesthetic, which because of the high standard of the finish, will be maintained for many years to come. For advice on choosing the most appropriate size of weathervane for your property and the location, have a look at the weathervanes installation page.
