Mixed-Material Bird Nest Boxes

Constructed from a mix of concrete and wood fibres, WoodStone® nest boxes safeguard against attacks from predators including woodpeckers, cats and squirrels. The material insulates the nest which creates a more consistent internal temperature than an ordinary wooden box. This is especially important during the breeding season and ensures that young birds have a greater chance of survival. We recommend using aluminium nails to hang due to the weight of the nest box and to limit any damage caused to trees.28mm Nest Boxes are used by Tree Sparrows, Blue Tits, Coal Tits and Great Tits.Fixings/screws not included

House Martins are the birds with white rumps that build mud nests on the eaves of buildings often in colonies averaging five nests. They will readily use artificial nests and this may encourage other birds to nest nearby.These nests should be sited underneath the eaves of your house or outbuildings.What to expect: House Martins

These amazing birds feed on airborne insects so they have to follow the warm weather southwards every autumn. Swallows head for the southern tip of Africa for the winter. They make the return journey every spring arriving in April. When they arrive, their first priority is to find a nest site but, sadly, this is becoming harder as old buildings are demolished or repaired, farm buildings are secured or converted and some established nests are even deliberately removed in 'tidy-up' operations.Fortunately, Swallows will use a special open nest box in an enclosed area such as a porch or outbuilding. A Swallow Nest should be sited inside a building which allows easy access for the birds via an open door or window, such as a garage or outhouse. The male Swallow will circle above his chosen nest site, singing to attract a female.A minimum distance of 1m between nest cups is suggested. To ensure the swallows have enough room in the nest cup and when arriving and leaving there should be at least 6 cm free space above the nest cup.What to expect: Swallows
