Pennine Edge Barn Owl Group (pebog)

Thanks to all who turned up on Sunday for the Conservation day. It was very successful!! We managed to clear the areas around three of the barn owl boxes as they were over grown. The fourth barn owl box is situated on private property and we hadn’t arranged with the land owner to gain access to the box, so we left this one for another time. From looking at the box from a nearby field, it didn’t look as over grown as the other ones.

Now that the flight paths have been cleared from the other boxes, it will increase the chances of bird nesting in them. I can’t imagine that there will be any Barn Owls this year, but hopefully they will be used by other birds such as Kestrels, Tawny Owls or Sparrowhawks.

I still haven’t managed to write the minutes up from the last meeting, but once i have they will be emailed and put in the post to all paying members.

If anyone wants any more information, please feel free to contact the group at the email address below.
