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.

["Bird Box","Birds Nest","Birds Next Box","Simon King"]
The predator-resistant small birds' nest box is designed in conjunction with TV’s Simon King OBE. This a super strong and extra deep nest box for extra protection from predators such as cats, rats and woodpeckers.
The box is made from solid FSC-certified timber with a water-based green-painted roof and a 32mm hole protector. It is suitable for small hole-nesting species up to the size of Great Tits. The nest box is attached to the tree or wall using the pre-drilled recycled plastic hanger on the box's back. The hanger's clever design means that you can undo the locking screw on the back of the box and swivel the hanger away to reveal a large access hole for cleaning out the nest box after nesting season is over (October – December).
Erect the box with the entrance hole facing towards the northeast, away from the UK's prevailing wind direction. You can repaint the green roof annually to maintain its appearance if desired.
