| Post subject: | Record Little Owl year |
We have had a record number of pairs (70) of Little Owls using Bob Sheppard's nest-boxes this year, despite it being a poor breeding years for other owl species. However the combination of dry weather and lack of small rodents has reduced the number of chicks fledging. In Lincolnshire Little Owls rely quite heavily on earthworms for food, and these only surface during wet weather. The overall stats have been posted on the Ringing Section of this website. Alan |
