Great spotted woodpeckers are becoming a more common visitor to our gardens, why not provide these charismatic birds with a nest box.
This woodpecker box is purpose designed with a 50mm opening and and made from exterior quality resin bonded plywood to offer a durable nesting site for starlings, It is manufactured with surface sunk coated staples to resist rusting and finished with a non-toxic water repellent finish. The hinged roof provides convenient access for cleaning and there are drainage holes in the floor.
For best results place on a tree trunk or post away from disturbance at a height of 3-5m where it will not be exposed to full sun or prevailing wind/rain. It is important to ensure that there is a clear flight path to the nest box. Boxes can be cleaned out in October/November. Any flees or other parasites that have built up should be killed off with boiling water and any unhatched eggs should be removed.
