Tawny Owl Project
Following on from the very successful BTO Owl Appeal this year will be the start of our Project Owl research. With new surveys starting from autumn 2018, we need your help to learn more about our nation’s fascinating but often mysterious owl species. Check out bto.org/volunteer-surveys/project-owl/tawny-owl-point-survey
Log into the BTO, go to "my BTO" and log into the Owl project, then you can choose a square or two
Reports: John Clark, Tim Ford, Robert Hargreaves, Julian Head, Dean Reeves, George Stacey, Ian Stapp
