Made from a hollowed-out birch log, this open nest box has a more natural appearance and is more akin to what the birds would find naturally occurring in the wild.

There is a shortage of natural nesting sites, which is thought to be one of the major factors behind the decline of some of our once most-common birds.

By putting up nest boxes, such as this, which replicates a bird's natural nesting preferences, you can encourage them to breed near your home.
