when do small garden birds nest
It is important to put the nestbox up well before nesting season, as many birds begin their search for nest sites in February. Make sure to position your box well: ideally, fix it two to five metres high on a wall, fence, or tree trunk, where predators (including cuts and squirrels) canât reach it.f you have a large garden you can have a mix of trees, such as maples, and most conifers, and native species. If you have a small garden with only room for one tree, consider a rowan, crab apple, small weeping birch, or native hawthorn.
