Barn Owl Conservation Handbook: A Comprehensive Guide for Ecologists, Surveyors, Land Managers and Ornithologists

 

The Barn Owl Trust has long been publishing practical guidance on Barn Owl conservation via leaflets and pamphlets; over 30 are available to download from their website. This book brings together all this information, thoroughly updated and expanded, into one concise and well-structured 400-page volume. Split into nine chapters, over two thirds of the book is dedicated to practical, up-to-date guidance on topics including habitat creation, nest box provisioning, mitigation and enhancement at development sites, care and rehabilitation of found birds, and carrying out Barn Owl surveys. A whole chapter is dedicated to legal considerations in all these areas and two chapters are given to Barn Owl natural history and ecology. Essential for anyone with an interest in Barn Owl conservation.
