Elusive bird species monitored

Three barn owl siblings ringed

Three of the newest additions to one of the Island's most elusive bird populations have been ringed.

In an effort to gather valuable insight into barn owl behaviour, three siblings have been equipped with scientific rings.

The raucous and healthy 'three amigos' have been part of a nest box project, by Manx Bird Life.

Over the past seven months, live video of the barn owl family has been streamed from a secret location on the Island.

A clutch of six eggs was originally produced, of which five have been successfully hatched.
