Helping to ring and monitor 4 beautiful Barn Owls in Shropshire today. Last year the brood didn’t survive due to the wet weather, so it was lovely to have a better outcome this year. Ringed and monitored under licence.

I know, it’s great isn’t it!
I was really lucky to help ring two Barn Owl chicks today, a male and a female. Shropshire. Ringed under licence.

We’ve been advised by Harper Adams Uni (who set it up for us) to look at the score (circled) and an 8 or 9 value means it probably is correct, anything less needs checking, and may well be a misidentification.
