A pair of Barn Owls has successful bred at Kenfig, producing two chicks in 2024. The birds were seen regularly making  hunting flights over the reserve during the summer and early autumn. Sadly, the female, which we know from ringing data was born in Manchester, did not survive, probably killed by a collision with a car. One of the juveniles did not survive either, we think it was killed by a Goshawk. However, we know from camera traps and sound recordings that Barn Owls are still present on the Reserve. If you see one of these enigmatic birds , please let us know when and where by contacting the Warden at warden@kenfignaturecorporation.com
