Reminiscent of New England beach huts, each house features real shingle roofs and lapboard sides and a silvered hole protector. Perfect for small bird species such as blue tits, coal tits and marsh tits.
The nest box should be sited on a tree, wall or garden fitting at least 1.5m – 2.5m above the ground.
