The boxes are very basic, not very des res, no need for really good architecture or design.<br /><br />Absolutely worth the effort though. When the three little owlets fledged they sat around in the wood for a few days (good job we didn't have cats then) while they learned a few skills from their parents. <br /><br />It was really easy to sneak up and watch them. I began to feel like a peeping tom!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-21726538152408855602011-11-12T20:33:53.666+00:002011-11-12T20:33:53.666+00:00Owl Wood - I'll shoot one then and trace aroun...Owl Wood - I'll shoot one then and trace around it.

With regards...Chris,<br /><br />We are absolutely barking! <br /><br />With regards to the owl box dimensions, it does depend what size owl you want to attract. <br /><br />Try: http://www.godsownclay.com/TawnyOwls/Nestboxes/tawnyowlboxes10.html it shows some really interesting designs, with rough dimensions.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-50347660189151842902011-11-11T18:59:44.489+00:002011-11-11T18:59:44.489+00:00So they're all crazy then?

I may have a card somewhere, but perhaps there is a group within your local area who could assist. Otherwise I'm sure Ian would be happy to get up the ladders with a tape measure!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-20363979115175927382011-11-11T13:17:09.573+00:002011-11-11T13:17:09.573+00:00Interesting blog from your Bro...
