Yesterday (28 October) my wife Pam bought a nest box for my birthday. As you can see I have sited the box within an apple tree in my garden.
I just wanted to give a tip on the siting of Nest boxes. The entrance of box should face North, it should not face the east or west as the rising/setting sun can overheat the birds in the box, it should not face south to south-west as the prevailing wind and rain could chill the nestlings.
