Wild bird cover is a great habitat for birds, during both day and night! Ringed 2 Long-eared Owls and 1 Barn Owl last night in a crop of WBC on @moorewp's farm. Amazing to see both of Ireland's regular breeding owl spp in the hand. Also single snipe & skylark @BirdWatchIE @_BTO

@AlanMc_23 @moorewp @BirdWatchIE @_BTO Its a shame ploughing and herbicide application are part of the establishment of wild bird cover though; maybe it could be more sustainably grown with no-till and organically?
