Kilkenny Barn Owl Survey
The Barn Owl, with its brilliant white feathers and screeching call, is a source of myth and legend in Ireland. Sadly, Barn Owl numbers have declined and they are now under threat. BirdWatch Ireland, in partnership with Kilkenny County Council Heritage Office, are undertaking a survey of Barn Owls in Co. Kilkenny this summer and are looking for your help.
