About the event

Join us for a captivating Wilder Communities / Urban Wildlife Champions webinar as we shine a spotlight on the nocturnal raptors of Essex—from silent‑winged owls to the county’s other night‑time hunters. This session celebrates their remarkable species, behaviours, and the complex ecology that allows them to thrive in both rural and urban landscapes.

You’ll discover the unique adaptations that make these raptors such successful nocturnal predators, learn where and when you’re most likely to encounter them across Essex, and explore the vital role they play in maintaining healthy ecosystems.

The webinar will also offer practical guidance on welcoming owls and other night‑time raptors into your local green spaces. From choosing and installing owl boxes to creating suitable habitat features in gardens, community spaces, and shared urban environments, our experts will show you simple ways to support these magnificent birds.

Whether you're part of a community group, a wildlife champion, or simply fascinated by Essex’s hidden nightlife, this session will deepen your understanding—and inspire you to help these iconic species flourish.

This webinar is free to attend, and at checkout, you’ll have the option to select a free ticket or contribute a donation of your choice. All donations are greatly appreciated and help support our vital conservation work. We thank you for your support!
