The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) took to their Facebook page to share the findings of a recent survey of African Grass Owls in the Midrand area.
The post read, “The EWT’s African Grass Owl Project and GEKCO Biodiversity undertook a survey of these special birds in Midrand earlier in April.
“The population from this heavily pressurised urban corridor is sadly declining and breeding sites are deteriorating, making work to protect these owls even more critical.
“During this survey, the female owl pictured here was flushed from her territory. She has been wonderfully successful, season after season, and is currently raising a healthy month-old chick.
“This work is made possible by support from Anglo American Inyosi Coal Mine, Kriel Colliery and Eskom.”
