Hi Jayne,

GR02634 was ringed by Bob Sheppard just north-east of Orby on 27/07/2010. She was a chick in a brood of four (two males and two females) in a Lindsey Marsh Drainage Board pole-box...........approximately 9km east of Dalby Hill. Please let me know if you have reported your find to the BTO, as all reports are useful in order to build up a picture of movements, longevity and circumstances of death. Unfortunately roads account for the biggest mortality of our Barn Owls, especially young owls in their first year.

Thanks,

Alan Ball

Thank you Andy I reported it to the BTO this afternoon.

Alan thank you for the information, it makes me so sad to have found her in such a sad way, poor thing managed to survive her first winter in such terrible conditions to then be killed by a car. Its heartbreaking, she will be buried under a buddleia bush in my garden tomorrow. This is the second I have picked up off the road in 2 months, its so desperately sad.
