Langdyke volunteers called on the help of local owl box expert John Parsonage after they discovered a barn owl was using one of the sheep shelters at Etton.
John has made a nesting box in the hope that the owl will use it during its regular visits to the shelter at Langdyke’s Etton High Meadow site.
Now a trail camera – installed in the barn area – has captured the owl exploring the box.

John has installed a number of owl boxes across the area including several for Langdyke in the Etton area.
Meanwhile volunteers have also teamed up with the Hawk and owl trust to install owl boxes and a kestrel box at Langdyke’s Bainton Heath woodland site,
