Where you place your nest box is important. Ideally you want to create a safe and comfortable environment for the birds. Here are some tips:
- Shelter from wind, rain as well as direct sunlight
- Site out of reach of potential predators
- Place away from bird tables or feeders
- The front of the nest box should be angled slightly downwards to prevent rain from entering
- When fitting, use galvanised or stainless screws / nails that will not rust
- If fixing to trees use galvanised wire to tie the box to the trunk or hang it from a branch and also regularly inspect the fittings
- Once occupied, leave undisturbed until fledglings have left the nest
