Long-eared Owl Survey

As in the previous 2 years we are in the process of surveying breeding sites in Calderdale of this fascinating Owl.

If you are already checking local sites, or would like to be involved in these next few weeeks then please liaise directly with our Recorder - Nick Dawtrey (Hx 364228)

Please be aware that this is a very sensitive species and prone to desert nest sites if disturbed. There is no need to look for nests - observing from a distance of 100m or more is usually sufficient to establishing breeding success - especially as any young start hunger calling.
