About the event

It might sound a bit gruesome but you'll be fascinated by what you see inside an owl pellet - from bits of fur to tiny bones!

Become a nature detective and find out what our local barn owls have been eating. 

You will dissect a real owl pellet and discover something new about these beautiful elusive creatures  - all with help from the BBOWT learning team. 

All materials will be provided. 

This is a family event - but most suitable for families with children aged 7 and over.
