Birdwatchers in Kildare want sightings of Barn Owls

These boxes can cost up to €150 for special outdoor boxes but with the help of Newbridge Menshed and  Grants from Kildare Co Co , Bord na Móna and Waterways Ireland they have put up over 60 boxes in the last 18 months.

The Kildare Branch  would like to hear from the public at large  of sightings of Barn Owls throughout the County to enable them to build up a data base of likely areas where these birds are resident.

All sightings can be noted by emailing [email protected].

Members of the Branch had a demonstration of how to make Barn Owl and other bird boxes at the Naas store of B&Q recently which attracted great interest from shoppers and particularly children who always have  such great ideas on how to save the biodiversity of our countryside .
