 ===Positioning your Owl Box===
-Trees overlooking fields are ideal locations for barn owl boxes and from our experience a copse seems to be perfect.  With our night vison camera we regularly see an owl fly to a nearby tree, sit there for an hour, then move to another tree for 30 minutes, before eventually settling on the box, and then another 15 minutes on and around the box before eventually entering the box.  A lone tree or post would not enable them to exhibit this behaviour.  Watching them do this always makes me think of the adage ''wise old owl''.

 Avoid placing a barn owl box near to powerlines.
