Tawny owl nest box

Tawny Owls are territorial birds and so only one pair will occupy a woodland area and nest site. This nest can be reused each year. Hand crafted from solid FSC certified timber Slow seasoned timber eliminates the need for chemicals, stains or artificial preservatives Lightweight yet durable Recycled plastic top and bottom mounting/fixing plates Integral perch Large bolt-on inspection door Fitted with a camera clamp The prepared owl box should be sited high up in a tree between 3.5 and 5 metres with a clear flight path to the entrance. The nest should ideally face east/northeast or south-east. The availability of prey species in the vicinity of the nest box is vital. Tawny Owls eat a wide variety of prey including mice, voles, rats, invertebrate, amphibians and birds. The proximity of fruiting or nut bearing trees and shrubs that support these target species would indicate a suitable nest site.
