Boxes 15 & 16 were put up today at the back of a good friend's house at Tansley near Matlock. He hears Tawny owls calling most nights so fingers crossed.
Cheers Rid, Fingers crossed... The next ones I make are going to be shallow cavity boxes like the ones sold by The barn owl conservation centre Gloucestershire. They say Shallow nest box designs make it easier for the Owls to defend themselves from predators like squirrels & jackdaws.
I'm liking the looks of all these new boxes you are putting up mate, good luck for occupancy in them all for 2014!
