Our owls are declining at an alarming rate
For example, the tawny owl, just one of the five beloved owl species in the UK, has seen a sharp decline in numbers with a fall of over a third since 2000. Since 2015 it has been added to the Amber List on the Birds of Conservation Concern report after more recent breeding and winter population declines. Likely factors include loss of woodland habitat and suitable trees for nesting.
