Tawny Owls and Kestrels

Monday, 23 March 2009

The first visitor to the next box this year was a Tawny owl, soon followed by a Little owl and Kestrels. Although we have not seen the Little owl again, the Tawny owls have been regular evening visitors and the Kestrels during the day.

The camera has captured both Tawny owls visiting the box on numerous occasions, both Kestrels have also been seen in the box.

Over the last few days the kestrels have shown more interest in the second box that I put up 100m away. Although we have no camera in the second box it seems likely that the Tawny owls will occupy the first box since they lay their eggs earlier in the season.

Once either of the Tawny owls or Kestrels decide to nest in the box, I'll add a page to the site that will update every five minutes with the latest image from the box.
