You may be aware of the fact that Little Owl populations are in decline in Britain, so we have decided to make the Little Owl our main survey species for 2016 in the hope of learning something about how local populations are faring and seeking possible causes of the decline. The BTO are planning a major “Project Owl” study from 2017-2019 and Little Owls will be included in that. If we can survey this species in Gloucestershire this year it will put us in a good position to contribute to the national survey when it starts.
