Sir – Do any of your readers know where I can obtain a telegraph pole from? I jest not!
In your newspaper there was really interesting article (Weekend, November 20) about owls and this explained how and where from owl nesting boxes could be obtained.
Fired up with enthusiasm, and an ‘Early-Learning style’ toolbox, I decided that I could provide the local owl-folk life with a much-needed homestead.
However, before I attempted to climb any of our trees and hang precariously from the branches, I decided to contact the owl sanctuary in Gloucestershire.
I am glad I did as the helpful chap there told me that none of my trees were tall enough and if I wanted to erect a nest box, it would have to be placed on a telegraph pole where a passing owl would spot it!
