Positioning a Nest Box.

When choosing where to locate your nest box there are certain things to consider.

• Choose a quiet location away from paths or busy areas.
• Avoid areas that predators can hide, ie cats.
• Position away from your feeding area.
• Don’t fill the nest box with nesting material, better to offer wood shavings, sheep wool, dog or horse hair in an old wire feeder for the birds to help themselves and make their nest.
• The nest box should face between North and East to avoid extremes of weather, sun, rain and wind.  Tilt the box forward a bit to reduce heavy rain hitting the entrance hole. Never place a nest box facing south.
• There needs to be a clear route for the birds to and from the next box. 
• Space out nest boxes in the garden, most species prefer to be separate from other nests with the exception of house sparrow and starlings as they usually prefer to nest in groups.
