The Sakertour nest box scheme supplies new breeding boxes for owls every year. This year we have constructed 25 Ural Owl nest boxes (weighing about 8kg each) and placed them both in Transylvania and the Zemplén Hills. One of the specialities of our team is that everyone is involved in nature conservation and over the years we have put up hundreds of owl nestboxes for several species.

The scheme helps us to show our tour participants these secretive birds with a higher success rate then any other company in the Carpathian region. We plan to put up a few boxes for Tengmalm´s Owl as well, later this spring.
