Siting Barns owls are birds of open countryside (not woodland).? The box should be positioned on a tree in a hedgerow. On a tree in the open or in a building or barn. Or at the very outside edge of woodland. The box should be placed high 2.5m – 5m ideally to face east, NE or SE and there should be a clear flight path to the box.
Barn owls are particularly vulnerable to being hit by traffic because of their low level hunting style. They should not be encouraged to nest within 1/2 mile of major roads.

The presence of vole rich grasslands and less intensively managed habitat is the key to success in selecting a nest box site.

Monitoring and Inspection Barn owls are a schedule 1 protected species in the UK which means it is illegal to disturb breeding barn owls except by licensed individuals. They also have a long breeding season and may have several broods. To avoid all possibility of disturbance only clean the box from November to February.
Other species which may use the barn owl box include tawny owls, little owls, stock doves, jackdaws and squirrels. Dimensions: 49 × 67 × 57 cm
