Default Barn owl

Barn Owl's nest in holes, Sacha. In old buildings or large trees. They also
take very readily to nestboxes. Your local wildlife trust would, I'm sure,
advise you on size and position - and might even provide a box for you and
advise where it could be erected. A small tea chest (do they still exist, I
wonder?) is about the right size.

Sacha - please take as much care as is in your power with the "human" rodent
control methods
used in your vacinity. Many poisons used are not compatible with healthy
owls. Best leaving it to the owls to
do do any control.
Beautiful animals - you are so lucky to be a possible chosen host - good
luck (:-)
