Good News

This morning a  pleased farmer reported that a pair of Barn Owls were already roosting in one of the boxes that we had put up on 21 January.
The birds don't usually move in that quickly!

A long way up!




We replaced another old box this morning. The problem was that the old one was on the top of our tallest pole; it may not look it, but this was a long way up and work proved very difficult.
The box itself sits in the middle of a busy stableyard and despite the continual activity, it remains a regular breeding site. Although no owls were present this morning, there were plenty of fresh pellets around and I am confident that the new box will be used very soon.
