Bob made some bird boxes last week when we got rained off from building one day last week.

We put them up yesterday morning

No one has moved in yet! 

We’ll probably make some more out of cladding off cuts .

The owl men have just been and we have 2 chicks, about 25 days old. We put up the barn owl box about 5 years ago (or rather paid South Cheshire Barn Owl group to put one up for us and they come each year to monitor it) and they have reared about 10 chicks in that time. They should return in a couple of weeks to ring them before they leave the nest.

Have your bird boxes been used this year do you know SC?

That’s great Mark. I’ve not noticed anyone using the bird boxes we put up.
