New Project

A couple of weekends Paul and myself started another new venture, on various Farms, targeting Barn and Little Owls.

Some of the Farms already had existing Barn Owl boxes that just needed a bit of attention on them, but on some of the others we placed new boxes.

In total we positioned 2 new Barn Owl boxes, 1 new Little Owl box and also cleaned out, put new hatches in, with fresh substrate, on 3 other boxes already in situ.

The boxes that needed addressing had an accumulation of pellets and prey debris, some quite full up but very interesting/satisfying giving them a fresh overhaul and placing fresh substrate.

3 more additional boxes, already in situ, we could not access, so the plan will be to address these nearer Christmas when Barnie breeding is complete.

A very enjoyable day and thoughts now turn to the upcoming breeding season, if it all comes together, going to be a busy time with all the other boxes.
