Good people of the fediverse I have a question about bats and swallows.

We're building a carport. One end will be attached to a wall. The other end will rest on 6 brick pillars of about 3 meters high.

I have 2 nest boxes for barn swallows and 2 bat boxes.

I'd like to attach those to the pillars.

Now my questions:
1) Is it ok to put both up in the same area?
2) What would be the best side of the pillars to hang them from: facing in, out or sideways?

Thank you for your advice!

Where do Large Forest Owls go after fires and logging?

"The Nature Conservation Council of NSW (NCC) has been running private property conservation initiatives for the large forest owls (Barking, Powerful and Masked Owls) since 2019. The works are focused across Bundjalung, Yaegl and Gumbaynggirr country, in the lower Richmond and lower Clarence floodplains of northern NSW."

They have videos on the use, installation and monitoring of nest boxes and the capture and analysis of acoustic data to assess and monitor fauna.

#bluetits #birds #nestboxes. I’ve always thought that blue tits only used nest boxes for nesting, then “flew the nest”. Mine seem to be using theirs all year - is this normal?

The final #marsupial #folivore that has visited the same location to check out the camera. The brushtail #possum is bigger than the ringtail possum and much bolder. We have multiple living in #nestboxes. #ecology #ScienceMastodon

While I am a #fishbot at heart, Ive also been playing around with #wildlife cameras and #nestboxes in my backyard. This camera still is of a Krefft's glider Petaurus notatus leaving its hollow to go foraging. These #omnivorous #marsupial gliders are small (<130g) and glide from tree to tree. The camera used is a Uniden wifi security camera, connected to my home wifi network. #ScienceMastodon
