As part of the continuing bird monitoring at Allestree Park Rewilding, I had organised for the
inclusion of nest boxes on the site. On Friday, I met up with Jim and Sandra to install eight large nest boxes targetting birds of prey. These included two for Barn Owls, two for Kestrels and four for Tawny Owls. It may be too late for them to be used this year, but their longevity will hopefully allow increased nesting opportunities for these birds in the future. Monitoring these boxes will provide insights into predators around the park. The implementation of this project would not have been possible without the generous funding from Derby City Council, and Jim for constructing the boxes.
