So many great stories this year from the UK and Europe in general about recovering Barn Owl populations!
For being native to almost every part of the world, it gets a bit depressing hearing numbers being down in nearly all of them. Stories like this may not seem exciting seeing just one chick raised, but owls reproduce slowly and the majority don’t see a first birthday, so every success is huge in bringing back predator populations.
