Has anyone spotted our new owl nesting boxes?
Four have been made and installed by volunteer and friend of the Birchanger Wood Trust, George Markwell, and they are specially designed to appeal to tawny owls.
We know that there are tawny owls in the area – if you live near to the wood you may even have heard their calls at dusk and at night. They make the classic ‘twit twoo’ call.
This box aims to mimic the kind of tree cavity that tawny owls like to nest in.
Tawny owls typically nest quite early in the year, but we may be lucky this season – and if not they will scout for territories and new nesting spaces in autumn, so fingers crossed!
Our thanks to George for these fantastic additions to the wood.
