Barn owl numbers soar in Cheshire thanks to volunteers. Three decades after a survey found just six breeding pairs in West Cheshire, the Broxton Barn Owl Group now counts around 160 pairs: a 25-fold increase, driven entirely by local volunteers. Founded in 1995 by Dot and George Bramall, the group has restored habitats, installed nest boxes and monitored chicks, turning once-vanishing owls into a thriving rural presence across the county.
