Do nest boxes really work??
Every now and again I get asked this question. Well, apart from my existing photos showing the birds interested in the boxes I decided to photograph some more elusive critters. The Barn Owl.
I set up a camera close to one of my multiple-use large boxes and the proof is in the pudding as we say. The following images show that a pair of Barn Owls love this box. From studying the images the owls leave and enter the box at about the same time each night. How did I know I had Owls in there. The design is such I can see through the front louvre with binoculars and spotted the owl roosting during the day. That’s when I crept back in the middle of the night when they had gone and rigged up the camera.
The owls are so desperate for a home they moved into boxes built for possums.
"I'm having a closer look"
Guess who's found a new home???
