Amongst a selection of recoveries just received are about 10 relatively local Barn Owl records including three after 3 years and one after 5 years. A Blackcap ringed in August last year at HPP was found in Lincs this spring and a Pied Flycatcher from Wales last year was trapped at Portland Bill this spring.
The old BO recoveries and some of the birds we are catching at nest boxes suggests we are now getting a more viable breeding population of Barn Owls in Nottinghamshire
