Where to place this nest box?

Little owls are traditionally birds of farmland, orchards or smallholdings with mixed land, outbuildings, cowsheds and barns. In the wild, the Little Owl can utilise rabbit burrows, old buildings or natural holes in trees as nesting sites. Consequently, the box should be placed between the ground and no more than 2.5 metres high, preferably out of domestic cats' reach. The box can be on a woodland tree, an orchard tree, a hedgerow, or a building. The box should ideally face East / North East or South East.

The availability of prey species close to the nesting box is vital. Little Owls eat a range of small mammals and invertebrates such as beetles, grasshoppers, moths. These may be found in invertebrate-rich meadows, piles of rotting wood or compost heaps and muck piles.
