A message from Ron....
Another month has passed and we have a workday this Sunday. We will be putting up a barn owl box at Hall
o'the Heath. Unfortunately, Brian will not be able to join us. We might have a replacement ranger but I am sure we can cope on our own if necessary.
The Barn Owl Box came pre-assembled, but needed to be firmly bracketed to the top of a reclaimed telegraph pole. Farmer Dave Gilbert appeared to have a selection of poles in stock so we chose one that would leave the box about 5m above ground level. 
The box and pole was taken from the assembly yard using the farm mucking out tractor down to a site between two fields. This is the second large owl box that the HCV have installed on the Hall o'the Heath farm; the first being in the wildlife garden near the pond. The new box will be visible from the Haslington Circular Walk route.
