We hear (31 July 2007) that the Wymondham group of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust (WyNG) has installed nest boxes for Barn Owls and Little Owls 16feet up in some of the trees in the wood. Dr Anne Edwards from WyNG said that a local supplier had produced the boxes with particular features for safe rearing, including “nylon bolts required to fix the boxes” which had been sourced via the Hawk and Owl Trust. Volunteers from the RSPB with climbing skills helped in this task by fitting the next boxes in the selected trees. [for more information see Eastern Daily Press, 31 July 2007, page 9]
