The aim of the group is to ensure ongoing and consistent monitoring of the Sussex Barn Owl population. With circa 90% of Barn Owls now breeding in nest boxes it is vital we maintain and grow the status of this enigmatic bird through effective management of these and other breeding sites.

We are a Sussex based group of bird ringers and nest recorders looking for individuals to support our nest box erecting, monitoring, recording and Barn Owl ringing activities in the county.

If you wish to become involved in assisting us in any way or wish to discover more about Barn Owl conservation, please contact the persons below.  Barrie Watson, who had actively and tirelessly supported the SOS, an enormous number of Avian projects and Barn Owls, passed away in June 2023 at the age of 93.
