A free online presentation by John Lusby, BirdWatch Ireland and hosted by the Biodiversity Offices of Sligo County Council, Leitrim County Council and Roscommon County Council which will celebrate one of our most iconic birds and their changing fortunes in Connaught in recent years. Through footage, images and tales of personal experiences studying Barn Owls, John will explore why the Barn Owl is so special in Irish culture and in the Irish countryside, the results of a recent survey of Barn Owls across Counties Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon and what the future holds for Barn Owl populations here and nationally.
