Modified Schwegler Little Owl box

Modified Schwegler box 1CGA
Based on feedback from around the country, it appears that the Schwegler 1CGA nest box is not suitable for little owls - even though it is marketed as such.
The most obvious design flaw is the lack of an entrance tunnel, considered essential by many UK little owl experts.
To overcome this flaw, we have modified our boxes using a length of 69mm diameter plastic pipe to create an internal entrance tunnel .

Hopefully this modified box will prove more successful.
