We need to provide nest boxes as well as feeders and birdbaths. 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 both functional and beautiful nesting opportunities for birds in our gardens and outdoor spaces. There is no best time to put up nest boxes. By putting up boxes in the autumn, you can provide much-needed winter refuges for roosting birds. It is possibly increasing the chance of them staying and nesting in the spring. Putting up in autumn is an excellent practice to maintain as a well-designed nest box will only need cleaning once per year. Also, waiting until autumn to clean them usually ensures they’re empty.\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.

The natural log robin box is a hollowed-out log complete with bark intact and a large open front hole ideal for robins, pied wagtails and spotted flycatchers. The appearance of the natural product may vary but it is perfect for a garden or woodland setting.
The naturally air-dried FSC-certified timber wooden log has low thermal conductivity providing excellent insulation for nesting birds. The wood is beautifully pale, and the bark is a mottled brown colour. It is remarkably light and strong, and resistant to cracking and splitting.
You can lift the hinged lid by loosening the securing screw to allow for cleaning and inspection. It would be best if you hung the nest box from the hole in the wooden backplate at the rear.
Appearance may vary due to the seasonal availability of timber or environmental factors.
