Dissecting an owl pellet!

🦉Owls have no teeth so eat their prey whole. However owls cannot digest the bones or fur so have to regurgitate pellets🦉

👀 Watch as we investigates a barn owl pellet on Lark Rise Farm. 🔍

What We Do

The CRT promotes nature-friendly farming to help reverse biodiversity decline and combat climate change. We believe nature is integral to good farming and we protect, promote and regenerate our land and all life on it. We put our philosophy into practice on over 2,000 acres of working farms, small-holdings and woodland across England.
