Owl Boxes

Monday, February 7th 2011

The stormy weather put a stop to any bird-ringing activity this weekend so some of the bird-ringers made use of their time by putting up several new owl boxes. Some of these are at Foxglove and some are out on the wider training area. A few of the boxes are made from old ammunition containers like the one shown here! They should be used by Tawny owls who will be seeking them out over the next few weeks.
