Tawny family last year

Having finally got the pole mounted box sorted out, ( see http://wearewandering.blogspot.com/2011/01/better-late-than-never.html  )
i remembered a selection of images The Foto Ninja had supplied me with :-

Hopefully these Tawny Owls will leave the Kestrels in peace & allow them sole occupation of the pole box this year.

We have provided the Tawnies with their very own nest box -

whilst this fly's in the face at what is considered best practice for sites with Long-eareds ( ie dont encourage Tawny at Leo sites),

we hope this will help keep the TO's away from both the Kestrel & Barn Owl boxes
