A free presentation by John Lusby of BirdWatch Ireland and the Kilkenny branch of BirdWatch Ireland, will take place at the River Court Hotel on Tuesday, August 15 at 7:30pm.
The presentation, hosted by the Heritage Office of Kilkenny County Council, will celebrate one of Ireland's most iconic birds, the Barn Owl, and their changing fortunes in Kilkenny in recent years.
Through footage, images and tales of personal experiences studying Barn Owls, John will explore why the Barn Owl is so special in Irish culture and the Irish countryside.
The presentation will also examine the results of a recent survey of Barn Owls in the county, what the future holds for the Barn Owl population in Kilkenny and elsewhere, as well as experiences of local farmers who have encouraged Barn Owls to their land.
The event is part of Heritage Week, with over 40 events taking place from August 12-20.
