#birdoftheday: owl
The Estate Biodiversity Team are celebrating a barn owl bonanza! We have three confirmed breeding pairs over a 1.5km area, with 11 chicks ringed.
Four were weighed, measured and ringed today (Friday) by Jimmi, a licensed ringer from Raptor Aid, so we can ID them in future.

💧 Better water management
😃 Even more places to enjoy at our park!
