Following on from the recent Peregrine Box in London, Sunday found Paul and myself installing/concreting in Barn Owl and Kestrel pole boxes in Essex.
An early start to kick it off with the Barn Owl box, substrate, standing it up, strutting and then 14 bags of postcrete later saw it ready and hopefully looking inviting.
The same process was repeated at another location nearby for a Kestrel Box, in both cases, we used the standard Boxes which we have had a lot of success with this year.
I have no doubt that Stock Doves will very likely find them first, will then have to rely on each respective species which they are aimed at, turfing them out if they are accepted.
Fairly hard work installing, hopefully rewarded in 2027 with occupancy.
Both boxes were de strutted on Monday and ready to go, a 3rd Barn Owl box will be going in this week also.
