Robin & Wren Nest Box by National Trust

The National Trust Robin and Wren Nest Box is a beautifully designed nesting box that provides a safe and welcoming home for open nesting garden birds. With its wide front opening, it closely reflects the natural nesting preferences of species such as Robins, Wrens and Song Thrushes, making it an excellent choice for encouraging wildlife into your garden.

Crafted to blend effortlessly into outdoor spaces, this nest box adds both practical value and natural charm to gardens, patios and green spaces. The open front design offers birds easy access while still providing shelter from the elements, creating an ideal environment for nesting during the breeding season.

As natural nesting sites continue to decline due to increased urban development, garden nest boxes play a vital role in supporting bird populations. Installing a nest box like this helps provide a much needed breeding site in spring and summer, as well as valuable shelter during colder winter months.

Where to position:

For best results, site the nest box in a quiet, sheltered location, ideally 1.5 to 2 metres above ground level. Open fronted nest boxes should be well concealed, either against a wall, fence or shed, or within dense vegetation. Avoid placing the box in direct sunlight or exposed areas, and ensure it is securely fixed to prevent movement.

Cleaning and care:

The nest box requires minimal maintenance. Cleaning should be carried out after the breeding season, once birds have finished nesting. Carefully remove old nesting material using warm water and a stiff brush if necessary. Avoid using chemicals or disinfectants, and never disturb birds while the nest box is in use.
