We were delighted to reinstate a Barn Owl box in a beautiful old barn where the Owls once lived. Seeing the space restored as a safe haven for future generations of Barn Owls is incredibly rewarding 🦉@suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social #suffolkbirding

If you have a Barn Owl box, now is the time to clean it out or make any repairs by the end of January. Choose a dry, fine afternoon when the Owl could be hunting. Wear goggles and a mask and leave a small layer of debris. If you need further advice please contact us. #suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social
