This is the owl tower at
Assington
Mill in Suffolk, England. It's a two storey load bearing straw
bale barn. The ground and first floor are for bird-watching and
the roof space for
barn owls. It has a green
onduline (that's recycled cellulose fibreboard) roof over lime
plastered walls. It was built by Amazonails [now
Straw Works
and Straw Build]
in 2008. In 2009 a pair of barn owls moved in and since then seven
barn owl chicks have been raised by the couple. |
