Hi, does anyone have any details of successful artificial nestboxes for
Barn Owls?  Group in Wet Tropics area wants to work with farmers to
install poles with suitable nest boxes - aim: encourage owls as rodent
predators in canefields (reduce use of Kleerat etc).  For various
reasons, actual hollow logs NOT feasible.  Have given them the usual
references (Hugo Phillips, BOCA) but so far the only successful report
we've found for owls is from John Young (using hollow logs).  Rupert
Russell would welcome any info FAX 07-40982279 - or I'll pass anything
on to him that people email to me   THANKS!   Elinor Scambler
