There is a shortage of natural nesting sites, which is thought to be one of the major factors behind the decline of some of our once most-common birds. By putting up nest boxes, such as this, which replicates a bird’s natural nesting preferences, you can encourage them to breed near your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent species prefer different nest boxes and our range has been designed by CJ Wildlife’s team of ornithologists to optimum dimensions for the species concerned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nest box, made from wood, is beautifully designed and would be welcomed in any garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 28mm hole nest box will be used by Tree Sparrows, Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great Tits and Crested Tits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere should I site my nest box? The best height for your nest box is widely accepted as being between 1.5m and 5.5m high (5ft – 18ft respectively). However, if your area has a particularly high cat population it is best to site your box even higher. If you only have an exposed site to offer, face the box somewhere between north through east to southeast, avoiding prevailing winds and strong sunlight. If siting in woodland, the dry side of the tree trunk offers the most protection. By their nature, open nest boxes require more cover; siting them near to climbing plants where they can be partially obscured is ideal. Siting your nest box near vegetation also aids young birds taking their first flights as it gives them both physical support and good cover. A clear flight path into the box works best and avoid sites such as the top of fences that make it easier for predators to get at the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight – 29 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth – 19 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth  13cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe lid of the best box can be unscrewed using a torx bit for cleaning after the breeding season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CJ Wildlife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56839290978690,"sku":"906670119","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/2174\/files\/0O3A4540_781ec704-1e99-4f3f-8e54-f1974b89f823.jpg?v=1786378028","url":"https:\/\/www.in-excess.com\/products\/cj-wildlife-larvik-nest-box","provider":"In-Excess Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
