How to position & fit your nest box

Position the nest box so it is sheltered from strong wind, heavy rain, and direct sunlight. The front of the box should be angled slightly downwards to help prevent rain from entering. When installing, use galvanised or stainless steel screws or nails to avoid rusting.  Ensure the box is placed out of reach of cats and squirrels, and install it high up on a wall—at least 3 metres above the ground—for added protection.

When to clean your nest box

• Clean once a year, ideally in autumn (September–October) after the breeding season, be sure that the nest box is empty before disturbing.

• Never clean during spring or summer when birds may be nesting
