Project Leader: Gary Kingman
Project aims: To improve the status of Barn Owls in the Cam Valley Wildlife Group area.
Project activities:
Carrying out surveys and monitoring of owls in our area
Increasing breeding opportunities by putting up nest boxes in suitable sites and areas
Encouraging Landowners to manage the habitat appropriately
Safeguarding nest sites by regular monitoring
Inspecting nest boxes to establish breeding success levels
Maintaining good relationships with landowners and keeping them informed of progress
Feeding survey results into local and national recording schemes such as Bristol & Somerset Environmental Records Centres, Hawk and Owl Trust, Barn Owl Trust, County Bird Recorders and Natural England.
What we have achieved:
When we started the project, Barn Owls were thought to be extinct as a breeding species in the area, but our project has been successful in turning this right around and we now have a healthy population.
