As regular visitors to this blog will know I have been recently making more Little Owl nest boxes, 40 so far. In the second batch I still have another 11 to make/paint and I am now undecided on which colour is actually best suited, brown or green?
Here is a reminder of what both look like when erected out in the field.
Brown?
Green?
You can help me in my decision making by casting your vote on the poll, it can be located at the top of the right hand side column on this blog, just click on the colour you prefer and then press the vote button, its as simple that................thanks for helping.
I voted green but it would have to be a similar shade or a shade greyer than the one you have. Seems to blend into the trees better.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, it's what the Owls like best.
John, I totally agree with your comment, a sort of mid tone grey with a bit of greenish tinge and maybe a bit of bark ripple to enhance the effect, sadly B&Q can't help!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Paul. It'll be interesting to see what difference it might make when the leaves are off the trees. My guess is that a slightly darker and slightly greyer green might be less noticeable - I think that darker may be the main key! However, I'm surprised that with your skills and dedication, you're not finding the time to do a proper camo paint job!!! ;-}
ReplyDeleteRichard, you stole my thunder!!!!
