Description

They're known as "the farmer's friend" because they eat rodents such as wood mice, pygmy shrews and rats.  But barn owls are struggling in Ireland - there's been a 50% decline in the last 25 years. How can farmers help to restore barn owls to their land?  Wildlife expert & tillage farmer, Paul Moore, explains how he brought them back to his 140-acre farm in Midleton, Cork.
