Over the last 5 years a pair of Barn Owls has nested in this box - for three successive years they raised 6 chicks which subsequently fledged and left the nest. The box was installed by Western Power and provided by the Hawk and Owl Trust paid for by ourselves.
The Barn Owls are very vocal particulalry in Autumn when they are staking out their territories and during the breeding season when the young hatch and are at their most demanding requiring maximum protection from their parents.
In the Summer, with the bedroom windows open, the sounds of the hunting owls can be heard from time to time.
