巴恩岛猫头鹰向北向苏格兰扩张,但面临栖息地损失;筑巢箱提供了解决办法。 Barn owls expand north into Scotland, but face habitat loss; nesting boxes offer a solution.
谷仓猫头已经扩大到苏格兰远北部高地, 但由于现代农业实践和城市扩张, 它们的传统息地消失, 它们的种群恢复面临挑战. Barn owls have expanded their range to the far north Highlands of Scotland, but their population recovery faces challenges due to the loss of traditional nesting sites from modern agricultural practices and urban expansion. 安装筑巢箱可以提供安全的育种空间,帮助弥补这一损失。 Installing nesting boxes can help compensate for this loss by providing secure spaces for breeding. 盒子应放在离地面至少4米处的安静地区,在3月至8月的育种季节,应尽量减少人类动乱。 Boxes should be placed at least 4 meters off the ground in quiet areas, and human disturbance should be minimized during the breeding season from March to August. 这一简单行动可以极大地帮助养护这些重要的鸟类。 This simple action can significantly aid in the conservation of these important birds.
