Hi, I haven't posted in months, have some more baby owl pics. These ones were so angry lol, but I suppose if a giant reached into your home and took you out in the middle of your night, you would be too!

A pair of baby barn owls (Tyto alba).

They were ringed on June 9th as part of a training session. I was lucky enough to hold each of them whilst the other was having its ring applied. We saw the two adults fly off as we approached, however they soon returned after we had left.

Ringing was done under the supervision of my trainer, who is certified by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). Ringing does not hurt the birds, it instead helps us to track their progress and journey as they go along. By doing this, it could be possible in the future to predict trends in population declines, so that action can be take to save our birds. Mostly though, it is done for scientific purposes.
