Bird Boxes & Houses

The National Trust Open Fronted Log Nesting Box.

This nest box is made from a natural birch log with a semi-open front so it is ideal for Robins, Wrens, Wagtails and Blackbirds. As this is a natural product the dimensions may vary slightly.

There has been quite a shortage of natural nesting sites over recent years, which is thought to be one of the major factors behind the decline of some of our once most common birds. By installing natural-looking nest boxes, such as this, which replicates a bird's natural nesting habitat, you can encourage them to breed.

Dimensions (approximate): 27cm high x 17cm wide x 21cm long. National Trust branded.

House Martin Double Nest Bowl. These House Martin Nest Bowls have been designed to encourage these delightful, chattering, swooping summer visitors to remain in the UK to breed during the summer months.

House Martins are summer migrants to the UK, they spend their winters in Africa, south of the Sahara and, due to some moderate decline in their numbers over recent years, they are now on the Amber Watch List.

To encourage these birds to nest they need to be able to either build a nest from a nearby muddy hole, or use a purpose made one; then a plentiful supply of insects to feed on the wing and safety under the eaves of your house.

These House Martin Nesting Bowls have been designed to encourage House Martins to nest and breed in peace. Their nests are normally built, in colonies, under the eaves of barns and houses and are made from gathered mud, so having a nice muddy hole nearby encourages them to build. Today, with the changes in house construction they find it hard to find places, and the materials, to build their nests. The bird's mud nest is usually sited below the eaves of buildings so that they have free air to swoop in quickly to their nests.

Providing an artificial nest bowl is a great alternative and House Martins will readily use artificial nests which encourages other birds to nest nearby. These House Martin Nest Bowls have been designed to appeal to House Martins and are constructed from exterior grade plywood and clay.

These nests should be installed underneath the eaves on exterior walls of your house or outbuildings, at least 2m or more above the ground (we recommend asking a tradesman to install at heights over 3m). When choosing a site remember that the birds’ droppings tend to build up beneath house martin nests, so don't fix nest bowls above a doorway or a window. If this is not possible then a shelf about 25cm wide fixed about 2m below the nest will catch the droppings if they cause a problem. Once you have fixed the nest bowls, it is important to let the birds’ nest in peace.

A Swallow Nest by CJ Wildlife. A purpose made, easy to install, nesting place for Swallows.

Get ready for the arrival of Swallows in Spring by placing these little nests in an enclosed or sheltered area like an outbuilding or under high eaves.

Swallows love to use an open nest, preferably in large open buildings, which allow easy access through doors or windows.

Swallows are amazing birds who head from the UK to the southern tip of Africa for the winter, an incredible journey, and they return to the UK in April. Their first priority is finding a nesting place but with the demolishing of old buildings and conversion of farm barns it becomes increasingly hard for them to find safe nesting sites. By installing these nests you will be helping them survive their first weeks of breeding.

Made of moulded grey woodcrete this nest is attached to a plywood backboard. Measures 20cm W x 12cm H x 11cm D. Dia. of nest 17.5cm.
