Barn Owl Flight Path - Moor Copse BBOWT Reserve
Wednesday, 13th August 2008

For its first visit to BBOWT's Moor Copse Reserve located between Tidmarsh and Theale, CROW choose a rather dismal day in what was proving to be a rather dismal summer. The task for the day was to open a gap in the hedge between an area of rough pasture and the adjacent cornfields to encourage use of the pasture by barn owls. The surrounding high hedges and woodland were discouraging the owls from accessing the pasture although it should have provided an excellent hunting ground for quarry such as field mice and voles.

CROW volunteers for the day were Elizabeth, John, Kayleigh, Lawrence, Mike, Phil, Rinchen and Alan.
