General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

I recently made this Owl box for a mate of mine who owns a farm,i got the dimensions from the barn owl trust website this is the minimum sized box.
here
Its made of half inch ply with lift off lid and landing platform not treated with anything , as its undercover.
The box is attached to the spar going across the back of the barn with two 4mm x 25mm flat bar heated up with blow lamp and bent into steel hooks bolted through the back of box ,so it was just a matter of hooking it on the spar. The lid is also attached with two hook and eyes ,just for safety.
Hes going to put a camera inside so hopefully we shall have a visitor.
Some owl conservationists were walking past the farm last week and spotted the box they were very impressed with it ,and its in a perfect spot ,they said there is signs on the platform something as been investigating the box. .They said it could be 6 mths are even longer before any owls move in,so fingers crossed
