Little Owl Nestbox

We've been talking about this bird for al long time.... the little owl (steenuil)
Previous kenderfrau posts here


On Saturday bird ringing Noord-Limburg placed a special nestbox in our tree


Thank you Patrick!




This is supposed to be a marten proof nestbox...

We spotted martens in de back garden several times.
Once I saw two youngsters chasing each other at dusk ☺︎




Just a little pruning by the kenderman to ensure a free flight path.


Immediately small birds like blue tits and coal tits investigated the new nestbox.
Now we just have to wait for a couple of little owls to discover it...
