Like a beach hut, this nest box features real shingle roof and lapboard siding as well as silverplated hole guards.
This nestbox is perfect for small bird species e.g. blue tits, great tis, etc and a wonderful addition to your garden.
LOCATION: The nest box should be placed on a tree, wall or garden fixture at least 1.5m -2.5m above the ground, preferably in a location where cats, predators can't access. The ideal orientation is facing East, South East & North East are also fine. The box should remain empty as wild birds bring their own nesting material into the box.
MONITORING: Breeding is most likely in April & May, when the chicks hatch, there is a frantic feeding activity by the parent birds. Be careful not to disturb during this time, as any intervention may result in the parents' eggs or young birds been abandoned.
Maintenance: The nestboxes are made from slow seasoned FSC wood and may be painted annually with appropriate water based paints to maintain their appearance. Outside the breeding season, September to February, the nestbox can be cleaned of old nesting material and disinfected with a suitable product e.g. wild clover. To open, swing the brass latch to the upright position and turn the side of the nest box, opening it at the bottom.
