Second box up today for the Biodiversity in Melton project! At this rate the owls will need a waiting list. Huge thanks to Melton for working with us — fingers crossed for a very successful season and some feathery new tenants soon 🦉✨ @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Enjoyed a very pleasant @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social boat trip on the River Ore and Butley River on Sunday, was interesting to observe a good number of waders from the boat. Also before the trip I managed to see the North Warren shrike which was showing very well #Suffolkbirding

Apologies for straying off topic. 12 more 3D printed House Martin nest cups have been made and decorated for the @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social HMSS project. We are targeting existing or recent HM colonies to help their local populations expand. #NestSpace @sbghousemartins.bsky.social

Thought it was just one noisy owl on camera 🎥 — then two more burst out behind it! Box mayhem caught by one of our brilliant hosts. 🦉✨ @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Slightly off topic, apologies. Collected a car load of Redstart, Nuthatch, Spotted Flycatcher and Grey Wagtail nest boxes from our SBG volunteer. These are destined for suitable east Suffolk habitat; Southwold, Ufford, Woodbridge and up along the Deben and Ore. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Circumstances can change, SOSSwifts have had these 3 Swift boxes donated back into the @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social @suffolkwildlife.bsky.social project. We will happily donate these 3 nest boxes on for you to install at a Suffolk location where Swifts nest already. #SaveOurSwifts

Three more beauties ready for action! 🦉 Handcrafted by one of our brilliant volunteers — these owl boxes are all set to head out and become des-res homes for some very lucky barn owls. @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

Full steam ahead! We’re busy getting owl boxes up before winter sets in — giving our feathery friends plenty of time to find their new homes well before next year’s breeding season. Ladders out, tools at the ready, and spirits sky-high! 🦉 🍁 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social

A grand day out at the Mansion House in Ipswich for Discovery Day! BOSS was there with the other brilliant Suffolk Bird Group projects — and the barn owl pellet dissections stole the show! Curious young minds, tweezers at the ready, and plenty of “ewws” and “wows”! 🦉🔍 @suffolkbirdgroup.bsky.social
