With its open front and larger size, this nest box has been specially designed for Blackbirds, but you may find that Robins and Wrens are also attracted to it.

Once one of our most common wild birds, House Sparrow populations have declined sharply in recent years, partly due to a lack of natural nesting sites. Help combat this by erecting a House Sparrow Terrace, so-called because the inside is split into chambers to fit three pairs of these colonial, social birds.
The Starling is also a declining species, falling by more than 60 per cent in the past 30 years. This box provides an ideal man-made alternative site.
Natural nesting sites for swifts are becoming harder to find as we smarten up our homes,filling in the gaps that used to provide refuge.
The Shropshire swift nest box has been carefully designed with the entrance hole facing downwards which allows the Swifts to fly up and into the box easily, increasing the likelihood of occupation. This arrangement also deters other birds such as starlings and house sparrows which have a reputation for squatting in more traditional swift boxes.
Boxes should be positioned as high as possible and close to the eaves. A clear space beneath the box is needed so the swifts call fall away to take flight.
Dimensions Height: 17.5cm, width: 43cm, depth: 26.5cm, entry slot 3cm
