Wangfords Barn Owl Update

You may remember a story a few weeks ago about the baby Barn Owls at Wangford (see pic below).  We are happy to report that in a year which has been hard on Barn Owls two of the three are still alive and well (see main pic). Unfortunately the smallest chick didn’t survive.

Suffolk Wildlife tells us that to date they have only managed to ring 14 birds in their area so far this year so we are extra specially pleased that we have two on our site.
