On the night of the 3rd of March 2000 many people will join in this year's national night of the long-eared owls survey. In the past this has been a survey which has been only conducted in South-west England, however after much pressure we have decided to extend it across the UK to whoever wishes to take part.
The Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) has gone through a big decline in this country, and so this survey aims to do two things:
1. Raise the awareness about the plight of the Long-eared owl in the UK,
2. Attempt to survey Long-eared Owl numbers in this country and to use this figure and site to site information as a baseline for future surveys.
If you are interested in helping in this survey, or if you are just passing by, then please do use the links at the bottom of the page to find out more about what we are doing and of course to find out more about the bird itself.
