We have had Little Owls nesting in the bedroom roof-space for several years.  In 2019 we decided to install a nest box to try and encourage them to move out.  They make so much noise feeding in the middle of the night!

Very soon we had a pair investigating the box.  They seemed to like it, but unfortunatley preferred their old roof-space nest!  We thought we had blocked all the routes in to the roof, but apparnetly not.  They ended up laying 3 eggs in the roof-space next, all of which hatched.  But sadly the chicks died from dehydration after an extended period of rain that prevented the adults from hunting.
