WoodStone® Small Open Fronted Nest Box
The WoodStone® range of nest boxes have been designed and developed to withstand the vagueries of time. Unlike a traditional wooden nest box, these boxes will not rot away or deteriorate. Every WoodStone® nest box from The Really Wild Bird Food Company ( that's us!) is sustainably sourced and guaranteed for 10 years.
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.
This open nest box will be used by Robins and Wrens (if well hidden), Spotted Flycatchers, Pied and Grey Wagtails, Song Thrushes and Blackbirds.
For Wrens the box should be low, ideally below 2m and well camouflaged with vegetation. Otherwise hang the box between 2 - 4 m high and face between North & East with clear visibility.
