Suitable for robins, wagtails and spotted flycatchers, this open nester gives easy access to birds who prefer an open nest box and a concealed nesting space to keep them safe from predators.

• Measures 25 x 14 x 12.5cm.
• The lightweight nester can be wired into a hedge or attached to a wall using the fixing wire.

Most Robin nests are located on or near the ground in hollows, nooks and crannies, climbing plants, hedgebanks, tree roots, piles of logs and any other situations which provide a fully concealed cavity.

The birds are very sensitive to any disturbance during the nest building and egg laying, and will easily desert the nest if they think that the nest has been discovered. Unless the birds are used to people, it is best to stay clear of the immediate vicinity of the nest until the incubation starts.

With a wide range of expertly-designed bird houses to choose from, you can easily provide a safe, welcoming home in your garden for different wild birds. RSPB Shop also provides advice on where to locate your bird house. Help us give nature a home!
