Handmade from solid FSC certified timber with two recycled plastic side mounts, these nest boxes are a good option if you want to support kestrels.
Why are nest boxes important?
Natural nest sites are being lost having devastating consequences for bird species. Birds are an essential component of functioning ecosystems and have a direct impact on human populations and millions of other species. It is therefore important to provide our feathered friends with a home.
MATERIAL: FSC timber and recycled plastic
DIMENSIONS (MM): 330 x 290 x 600
WEIGHT (KG): 5.7
SPECIES: Kestrel
SITING: The box should be mounted at least 5m high, preferably with a clear flight path to the box. You may use a pole if a tree is unavailable. Kestrels are less likely to be hit by traffic than species such as Barn Owls, so a position near light traffic is acceptable if other sites are not available. The box should ideally face East or NE/SE. The presence of insect-rich rough grassland which supports field voles will greatly increase the likelihood of occupation.
MAINTENANCE: The box may be inspected and cleaned out from Sept to March when there are no breeding birds, and you should exercise great care not to disturb breeding birds from Spring to Summer. Other species which may make use of your kestrel nest box include tawny owls, stock doves, jackdaws, or possibly little owls or barn owls.
