This lack of natural nesting sites is mainly due to our actions, cutting down large trees, woods and forests. Also, we are now converting or destroying our once dormant and forgotten buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith around half the population of UK barn owls now nesting in hand-made boxes, an adequately sited and well-designed nest box can help. All species of large bird require a clear flight path and good visibility from the box. Position boxes facing away from prevailing winds, ideally facing south-east. Nest boxes can lay dormant for several years. Install boxes before winter to maximise their chance of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBirds of prey are a popular part of our natural and cultural heritage and a vital part of the UK’s biodiversity.
