Powerful Owl Project nestbox instal day

Added: 2026-05-21

[00:00:00]Heading down to install this powerful owl box this morning.

[00:00:04]Hopefully this weather holds off and I don't get too much rain cuz it's a beast and it's going to be a mission to get up there, but uh hopefully we've got enough time to get that up and carve a few more hollows.

[00:00:14]And um check what we've already got going down there.

[00:00:17]Right uh so me and Will have been walking around for a fair while now looking for suitable trees.

[00:00:27]Pretty sure that's going to be our tree.

[00:00:31]Now the fun starts of uh trying to get the box down here.

[00:00:37]I've got my powerful owl box backpack on.

[00:00:40]I think I'm going to die.

[00:00:49]>> [laughter] >> How you feeling, Tom?

[00:00:52]Cooked.

[00:00:56]Trekking all this gear in.

[00:01:00]Really start to get to you.

[00:01:06]Got the box down here. Got all the gear down here.

[00:01:09]Forgot the throw line.

[00:01:12]As in not even in the car.

[00:01:16]So it's going to be a bit more fun.

[00:01:18]So while Will's rigging up his ropes to get that box up in the tree, I've just been checking my other cameras I've got on this property.

[00:01:26]This camera up here monitoring this little hollow.

[00:01:29]Just had a powerful owl land on it last night.

[00:01:32]So we're on the money.

[00:02:04]>> Nearly up there. Nearly up there.

[00:02:12]It's a big box, man. It's a big box.

[00:02:15]It's very fun to position.

[00:02:36]Success.

[00:02:38]That was a long day.

[00:02:47]Hiking out.
