Barn
owl
This
magnificent bird of prey with the heart shaped face is one of our best
loved native birds. Habitat destruction, particularly the rough
grassland inhabited by the small mammals on which they prey, has
played a major part in the 50% decline in barn owl populations since
1930. By
2000,
Warwickshire had just 40 pairs remaining. By publicizing the
introduction of nest box schemes, educating landowners and the public
and habitat improvement we hope to secure the future of the barn owl
in Warwickshire.
