Three Robin chicks in the open fronted ‘box’ by our patio window. The ‘box’ is made from a section of large diameter polythene waste pipe with two blanks of timber cut to shape and held in place by small wood screws. I have made many of these as ‘boxes’, several with larger holes for Pied Flycatchers. We have put them on land in North Wales owned by a great friend of ours. Those boxes have been used successfully by Blue & Great Tits but it was great to see Pied Flycatchers nesting in several of them too. |
