Further encouraging garden birds into our gardens and keep them healthy and happy. This shortage of natural nesting sites for birds has played a part in the decline of some of the UK’s most iconic species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is now easier than ever to provide functional and beautiful nesting opportunities for birds in our gardens and outdoor spaces. By putting up boxes in the autumn, you can give much-needed winter refuges for roosting birds. Which possibly increase the chance of them staying and nesting in the spring. This is an excellent practice to maintain as a well-designed nest box will only need cleaning once per year. Waiting until autumn to clean them ensures they are not occupied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne of the key determinants in how likely birds are to occupy nest boxes is where you choose to locate them. Remember to place nest boxes away from feeders and baths.

Siting
The nest box should be sited on a tree, wall or garden fitting at least 1.5m – 2.5m above the ground, preferably in a place where cats and predators cannot access it. The ideal aspect is facing east; SE and NE are also fine. The box should be left empty as wild birds will bring their own nest material into the box.
Monitoring & Inspection
Nesting is most likely during April and May, and in the event of chicks hatching, the parent birds will have frenetic feeding activity. Take care not to disturb during this time as any intervention may result in the parent's birds' eggs or young being abandoned.
Maintenance
The nest boxes are made from slow-seasoned FSC timber and may be painted annually with matching water-based paints to maintain their appearance. The nest box may be cleaned out of any old nesting material and disinfected with a suitable product such as Wildkleen outside the breeding season (Sept to Feb). To open, swing the brass catch to the upright position and pivot the nest box side by opening at the bottom.
